A close examination of the questions facing communities across the
United States where dam removal is on the environmental and
political agenda.. Dams and diversions along America's rivers have
transformed the country and in doing so created environmental
problems whose resolution will, in many ways, determine how we live
in the next century. There are over 75,000 dams in the country and
almost no major river in the country remains undammed. But now, for
the first time in our nation's history, the pace of dam removal has
overtaken the pace of construction as communities across the
country commit themselves to river restoration, including the
removal of harmful dams.Questioning the value of dams requires a
serious readjustment in the country's notion of progress, a
prospect threatening to some and daunting to all. Watershed
examines the implications of dam removal to America's rivers and
their communities by exploring the stories of a number of places
where dam removal and river restoration are now underway. This is a
story of people and place, and of a vital turning point in the
nation's relationship to its rivers. 0813367824 the Spirit of
