Synopsis
Dam Removal Wasn't A Realistic Option In The Twentieth Century, And People Who Suggested It Were Dismissed As Fringe Environmentalists. Over The Past Twenty Years, Dam Removal Has Become Increasingly Common, With Dozens Of Removals Now Taking Place Each Year In The Us. Same River Twice Tells The Stories Of Three Major Northwestern Dam Removals - The Politics, People, Hopes, And Fears That Shaped Three Rivers And Their Communities. Brewitt Begins Each Story With The Dam's Construction, Shows How Its Critics Gained Power, Details The Conflicts And Controversies Of Removal, And Explores The Aftermath As The River Re-established Itself.
