Small obsolete dams with reservoir sites that had little room for expansion. Loss of water diverted through one tunnel for agriculture was mitigated. Reading about the fish runs in historical documents, glad to see this demolition proceed.
Hi, may I ask how big or small does it take to be called a Dam? Like the 90,000! Also.. I know of a Dam (city owned) that's about 10" X 4'. Would that 1 count? Please & Thanks
The Klamath River Dam project is now an environmental disaster. Local County government in Northern California has declared an emergency. Pacific Power out of Oregon funded I believe 400 million of ratepayers money to accomplish this. The original plan was to remove all of the toxic mud, but I believe that has not been done yet and probably won't be. Blessings
You really put a lot of emphasis on Native American fishing grounds. Like what they wanted somehow took away their ability to feed their families. At least that is how they complain about it but the truth is they are NOT taking the fish to feed their families. At least not like everyone thinks, or like they try and blow smoke signals about. NO, they take ALL the salmon and then turn around and sell it to anyone that wants it! So while you can try and argue a dam, that has fish ladders and where fish migration is closely monitored and regulated, to destroying the dams and then the Native people, who do not adhere to any fish and game regulations and can take as many fish as they want are going to completely destroy the salmon and steel head populations because they can over fish without any regulation. Essentially ALL the migrating fish populations will cease to exist in less than 5 years! Thanks for your ignorant reporting and not learning about the true reality about what is going on!
I think you are the one who's ignorant, because if the indian fisheries are such a problem, how were they able to fish all they wanted for the last 7,000 years without impacting the population? It's not the Indians, it's the white men with their dams, logging, ranching, and mining. It's never been the Indians, they know how to manage their resources just fine.
Are these dams on indigenous people land? If not then their casinos can subsidize the nonindigenous communities for power and economic loss. That might be a fair trade.
