Reservoirs have been drained as the nation's largest dam removal effort advances on the Klamath River, and an effort to restore the watershed is taking root.

It's interesting how this is the largest dam removal project in history, and the main reason the dam is being removed is because it's cheaper to remove it rather than update it to current environmental standards. After the ecosystem adjusts, ideally salmon will be able to spawn upriver again. Some may argue it kills the fish currently in the reservoir, but that was expected and those fish are not native to the Klamath River.
