The latest September-October 2022 issue of Water Resources IMPACT has hit the streets and I will feature its 9 articles as I previously did with the July-August issue (10 articles) that focused on Hydrophilanthropy. The current issue highlights Pacific Northwest Water. On 22 October I opened with Robert T. Lackey and salmon, then on 23 October with Paul J. Pickett's 'water vision' for Washington State. On 26 October I posted Elaine J. Hanford's 'The Hanford Nuclear Reservation and a Legacy of Groundwater Contamination'. And on 3 November I posted Todd's 3-page PDF: Download Jarvis_WR_ IMPACT_Sept_Oct2022
Here is the Martin-Campana article:

Here is the firs section of the article:
This article is an updated and expanded version of an article that appeared in the May–June 2022 issue of Water Resources IMPACT.
Public discussion surrounding dam removal has increased significantly, and so has action. American Rivers reports that in 2021, 57 dams were removed in the United States, freeing 2,131 miles of upstream waters. Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Vermont each had seven removals. On Washington's Olympic Peninsula, the Elwha and Glines Canyon Dams have been removed from the Elwha River.
In Oregon and northern California, four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River are scheduled for removal in the coming year—a significant decision with many social, economic, and environmental impacts. There have also been significant conversations about removing the four dams on the lower Snake River. This article will cover each of these examples.
Enjoy!
