Brief Summary:
The removal of four dams and the revision of how water is shared in the Klamath River basin in southern Oregon and northern California have recently been made into formal agreements, and have been signed. The dams have provided hydroelectric power and water for farm irrigations for decades.

Short Response:
The dams have caused severe depletions in salmon, so I don't see the good that this movement has brought. Not only is it eliminating salmon, but the dams provided the hydroelectric power and water, so it seems to be a lose-lose decision and I don't agree.
