Los Angeles Times | The Klamath River’s dams are being removed and an effort to restore the river's watershed starts @latimes | Uploaded 6 months ago | Updated 14 hours ago
Water has been drained from reservoirs on the Klamath River as part of the largest dam removal project in the nation's history. With the emptying of reservoirs, lands that had been underwater for generations have reemerged. As work on dismantling the dams continues, a parallel effort is underway to restore the river to a natural state. Once the dams are fully removed, salmon will be able to swim upstream to spawn in more than 400 miles of the river and its tributaries. Leaders of tribes are celebrating the restoration effort, which they say will help them revitalize their fishing traditions and their connection to the river.
