The Klamath River, in the far northern reaches of California, is an especially interesting story. For decades, the various groups of people that depend on the river for their livelihood, including the Native Americans, farmers, and commercial fishermen, have battled over water rights to the Klamath. Recently, however, with dwindling fish populations and a decreasing availability of water, the groups have been collaborating to find a solution for many of the river’s problems. One solution they have come up with is to remove four major dams in the upper section of the river, restoring the river to it’s natural state and hopefully reviving the Salmon runs. This month’s National Geographic Magazine has an excellent article outlining the different issues and overviewing the ongoing debate.
