Watershed : the undamming of America

Grossman, Elizabeth 1957- (Author).

Summary: A nature writer based in Portland, Oregon, Grossman surveys some of the many dams that have been removed in the US and the many communities that are considering restoring free flows to their rivers. The process is long, she warns, so many of the projects she describes are still in the works, or in some cases still in debate.
