For the record: law journal articles contemplate future of California dams

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on November 29, 2008 at 6:54 am

From the California Progress Report:

Ideas about water management in the Western United States are in a state of flux, particularly in regard to dams. Recently stakeholders announced an “Agreement in Principle” to work toward removing four dams on the Klamath River. Next week the State Water Resources Control Board will likely revoke the water rights for the oft-proposed Auburn Dam. To learn more about these issues, we recommend that you pick up a copy of the most recent edition of the Golden Gate University’s Environmental Law Journal on “The West’s Aging Dams: Retain or Remove?”
