Undammed

Last year four of the dams on Klamath River were removed.  The largest dam removal project in United States history, this is a remarkable test case to show how nature and people can thrive on free-flowing rivers. But there are still many dams around the United States and around the world that need to be taken down as well.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Tara Lohan, author of Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities Back to Life, which tells the story of how the growing dam removal movement that is demolishing these harmful, often obsolete, structures can bring new life to once-stifled waterways.
