Throughout history, mankind has dammed rivers at the cost of wild fish, Indigenous peoples, forested land, and healthy watersheds. Adding to the havoc of today’s climate-change-induced weather extremes and water shortages, science says there’s no future for the business of dam-building.
On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Oregon-based environmental journalist and documentary filmmaker Steven Hawley, whose new book Cracked: The Future of Dams in a Hot, Chaotic World delivers the full, ugly truth about dams and offers a pathway toward freeing our rivers.
