Klamath River Hydroelectric Project Dam Removal

completed

The project involved the removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River, which had altered the ecology, disrupted salmon runs, degraded water quality, and impacted Indigenous communities' ancestral land for almost a century. The last dam was dismantled in August 2024, marking the completion of the world's largest dam removal project, allowing the river to flow freely and thousands of salmon to repopulate the river.
