Congrats to @AlabamaRivers for the great Water Rally last week! We were proud to sponsor the event and particularly the session celebrating the defeat of the proposed Chandler Mountain pumped storage project.
Thanks to @FERC for denying three pumped-storage hydropower projects on Black Mesa in AZ. The projects were proposed on the Navajo Nation's trust lands & ancestral lands of the @TheHopiTribe by a non-Indigenous developer and were opposed by Tribes & Indigenous NGO partners
Check out this video of the #Klamathriver @ Iron Gate reservoir. Iron Gate dam is still in, but drawdown & seeding of all 3 reservoirs is occurring. After the rainy/snowy season dam removal of 3 more dams begins! #NativeAmerican #Undamtheklamath #environmentaljustice #Waterislife

Essential reading- @jacqules on the growing danger of #dams #ClimateChange makes #DamCollapse more likely. Risks can be partially offset by monitoring, warning systems & upgrades "but the best way to eliminate the danger is to remove dams entirely" @TIME time.com/6317451/dams-e…

Only ⅓ of the world’s longest rivers are undisturbed by dams or barriers. Here’s why we need free-flowing rivers 👇 🌱 They support biodiversity 🌡️ Provide flood defences and climate resilience 💧 Improve water quality 🪨 Transport sediment and minerals #HudsonSwim2023
BREAKING: Alabama Power pulled out of the Chandler Mountain pumped hydro project and has petitioned to surrender its preliminary permit. What a win! It is also proof that @TwinkleforAL's announcement was all show after Alabama Power told her it was ok to be against the project.

The Pacific Northwest was built on hydropower. However, some dams impose costs greater than benefits they provide. With impacts of hydropower increasing & benefits decreasing in a changing climate we need a bold new vision for power resources in the region seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e…

A thoughtful, in-depth look at the promise and complexities of the Klamath River dam removals. “We think of it as the start of the biggest river restoration effort that anybody has ever seen.” #cawater via @NickCahill_5 @WaterEdFdn watereducation.org/western-water/…

The EPA estimates that U.S. reservoirs—including the reservoirs created by #hydropower #dams—contributed nearly 29 million metric tons of carbon emissions in 2021 alone. “Reservoirs are giant #methane factories"-Researcher Mark Easter @insideclimate insideclimatenews.org/news/14072023/…
‘Giant Methane Factories’: Hydropower Has Long Been Touted as Clean Energy. But Is It? insideclimatenews.org/news/14072023/…
Eel River residents overwhelmingly support dam removal, the tribes are adamantly in favor, and a constellation of NGOs is pushing hard for it. So why is it so hard to get done? ppic.org/blog/defining-…
Are you excited about Klamath #damremoval? Me too! Check out @americanrivers Klamath webpage for news and what's next: americanrivers.org/dam-removal-on…
Undamming the Klamath just got real. Copco 2 dam is no more. This dam dewatered the channel below it for about 100 years. One down 3 to go, rest to come down early next year. At its heart, dam removal is an act of love, a restoration. #undamtheklamath

"Dam removal’s greatest benefit is environmental: in returning rivers to free-flowing conditions, it reunites rivers with floodplains, restores riparian habitat, improves water quality, reduces GHG emissions, and re-enables migrating fish." --@jacqules time.com/6317451/dams-e…
