Book excerpt: This spring, four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River are being dismantled. Located near the Oregon-California border, these dams have been the crux of a twenty-year effort to restore the river's ecosystem so that salmon and other anadromous fish can thrive there. In support of this project are environmental groups, fishermen's associations, and the Karuk, Yurok, Hupa, and Klamath peoples. These groups point out that the dams have outlived their useful lives as power plants and are harming the Klamath's fish and water for virtually no human benefit. However, they have been opposed at various turns by the dams' owner, PacifiCorp, certain local politicians, and a significant portion of non-Tribal residents of the Klamath Basin. The tactics used by dam removal and retention advocates in the Klamath make it a useful case study in Western water conflicts. Understanding the contemporary conflicts in the Klamath requires us to delve into its history, examining the mythologies that affect the Basin's political culture. The Klamath is affected by the same broad narratives that influence the rest of the West; those of rugged 'pioneers' and self-sufficiency, and of dams as a force for good in 'taming the wild.' The Klamath also has a culture of opposition to its two state governments in Salem and Sacramento, best represented by the local "State of Jefferson" movement, which aims to carve a 51st state using the Klamath and its surrounding area. I argue that these local and general mythologies create a unique culture of opposition to dam removal in the Klamath, which is born not of the area's isolating geography or by colonial history but by specific twentieth-century acts of narrative creation. Along the way, I provide a series of 'interludes' from my research process to provide personal insights into the modern conflicts of the Klamath Basin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many people and places connected to rivers: fishermen whose livelihood depends on river ecosystems, farms that need irrigation, indigenous groups whose cultures rely on fish and flowing waters, cities whose electricity comes from hydroelectric dams, and citizens who seek wild nature. For all of these people, instream flow is vitally important to where and how they live and work. Riverflow reveals the diverse and creative ways people are using the law to restore rivers, from the Columbia, Colorado, Klamath and Sacramento-San Joaquin watersheds in America, to the watersheds of the Tweed in England and Scotland, the Fraser in Canada, the Saru in Japan, the Nile in North Africa, and the Tigris-Euphrates in the Middle East. Riverflow documents that we already have the legal tools to preserve the ecological integrity of our waterways; the question is whether we have the political will to deploy these tools effectively.

Book excerpt: CLICK HERE to download the first chapter from Elwha: A River Reborn (Provide us with a little information and we'll send your download directly to your inbox) A compelling exploration of one of the largest dam removal projects in the world—and the efforts to save a stunning Northwest ecosystem * Co-published with The Seattle Times * 125 color photographs, including rare historic images * Dam removal started in September 2011 while restoration work continues today In the fall of 2011, the Times was on hand when a Montana contractor removed the first pieces from two concrete dams on the Elwha River which cuts through the Olympic range. It was the beginning of the largest dam removal project ever undertaken in North America—one dam was 200 feet tall—and the start of an unprecedented attempt to restore an entire ecosystem. More than 70 miles of the Elwha and its tributaries course from the mountain headwaters to clamming beaches on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Through interviews, field work, archival and historical research, and photojournalism, The Seattle Times has explored and reported on the dam removal, the Elwha ecosystem, its industrialization, and now its renewal. Elwha: A River Reborn is based on these feature articles. Richly illustrated with stunning photographs, as well as historic images, graphics, and a map, Elwha tells the interwoven stories of this region. Meet the Lower Elwha Klallam tribe, who anxiously await the return of renowned salmon runs savored over the generations in the stories of their elders. Discover the biologists and engineers who are bringing the dams down and laying the plan for renewal, including an unprecedented revegetation effort that will eventually cover more than 700 acres of mudflats. When the dam started to come down in Fall 2011—anticipated for more than 20 years since Congress passed the Elwha Restoration Act—it was the beginning of a $350 million project observed around the world. Elwha: A River Reborn is inspiring and instructive, a triumphant story of place, people, and environment striving to come together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instream Flow Protection is a comprehensive overview of Western water use and the issues that surround it. The authors explain instream flow and its historical, political, and legal context; describe current instream flow laws and policies; and present methods of protecting instream flow. They provide numerous examples to illustrate their discussions, with case studies of major river systems including the Bitterroot, Clark's Fork, Colorado, Columbia, Mimbres, Mono Lake, Platte, Snake, and Wind. Policymakers, land and water managers at local, state, and federal levels, attorneys, students and researchers of water issues, and anyone concerned with instream flow protection will find the book enormously valuable.
Download or read book Same River Twice written by Peter Brewitt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dam removal wasn't a realistic option in the twentieth century, and people who suggested it were dismissed as fringe environmentalists. Over the past twenty years, dam removal has become increasingly common, with dozens of removals now taking place each year in the US. Same River Twice tells the stories of three major Northwestern dam removals - the politics, people, hopes, and fears that shaped three rivers and their communities. Brewitt begins each story with the dam's construction, shows how its critics gained power, details the conflicts and controversies of removal, and explores the aftermath as the river re-established itself.

Book excerpt: Background The Klamath River basin (see Figure 1) has garnered national attention due to a series of complex natural resource issues that are related to water allocation, water quality, and threatened and endangered species.1 At one time, the Klamath River was the third- largest producer of salmon on the West Coast of the United States, along with the Sacramento and Columbia Rivers. [...] Federal agencies with interest in the Klamath include the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR), which administers irrigation contracts; the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), which oversee threatened and endangered species in the basin; the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which is responsible for hydropower licenses on the river; and the Bureau of [...] An analysis by the California Energy Commission has estimated that the cost of implementing the NMFS and FWS preliminary license prescriptions may reach $300 million.6 PacifiCorp has concerns that this expense may still not resolve the basin's fishery issues due to poor water quality upstream of the PacifiCorp dams.7 The federal agencies state that the fishway prescriptions would restore access to [...] They also state that fish passage would create the opportunity for returning salmon, steelhead, and lamprey to occupy more than 300 miles of historic habitat above the dams.8 Because some environmental and tribal stakeholders see the Klamath River dams as responsible for the decline of fish populations in the basin, they are pushing for dam removal to improve habitat and river flows for fish, even [...] The issues at play in the region r e g a r d i n g. n a t u r a l resources - such as endangered salmon, tribal PacifiCorp Removal of the Condit Dam fishing rights, and the human benefits from the Although PacifiCorp did not address removal of its power provided by the Klamath River dams in its license renewal application for dams.
