- The World’s BIGGEST Dam Demolition Project Begins In California - Klamath river dam removal
In the United States alone, there are over 90,000 dams that produce electricity, manage flooding, and provide water to nearby communities. But After over a decade of debates over money, ecology and salmon, US officials have finally called for a drastic move: the demolition of four iconic dams in California. This initiative is regarded as the largest dam removal project in American history, and it is even billed as the world’s largest dam demolition megaproject! Today, let's explore the reasons for dismantling these dams and the intriguing details of the demolition process that is currently underway.

I don't believe the four Klamath dams being removed were ever used for irrigation. And they only produced about 134 mw.
no
no
You are correct
It’s about damn time.
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 Reading about the fish runs in historical documents, glad to see this demolition proceed.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
Watch the water...
I live along the Klamath, am watching it closely. It's getting clearer and cleaner every day.
lol how did a non-native plant get there?
the water level will be very different without the dams
Yes, there will be more water in the river now because less water will evaporate in the 4 reservoirs that used to bake in the hot summers.
It will be higher
Dam the dam dam
Ks eevertone in CACUCKOO? DISLIKE,
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
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.
no
Stolen land
They don't have casinos. All land is indigenous land
The Klamath River.
Is dead. It's nothing
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!
100 % correct
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.
You sound like an angry yt man. Well, cry harder little buddy. They were a bad idea and now they’re gone. It’s beautiful.
