Undamming the Klamath
The Lower Klamath Project is the largest salmon restoration project of its kind. Four dams spanning two states were removed in just a year and a half. This presentation will cover how the removal was completed, environmental considerations along the way, and the restoration progress of the 2,200 acres formerly submerged by impounded waters.
