Dam Removal and Construction in Oregon and Mexico: An Analytical Comparison of Repercussions Lola P. Flores

Dams Pros Cons Hydropower Irrigation Water reservoirs Fragments river systems Loss of plant and animal diversity Maintenance fees

Oregon Case Studies Dam removal Social Environmental Economic

Dinner Creek Dam Reasons for removal: -sediment accumulation -No longer in use Regarding the environment… -Sediment, water quality, macro-invertebrate communities, turbidity

Brownsville Dam Reasons for removal -Unsafe and old structure -Impeding fish passage Regarding the community… -Social Impact Assessment (SIA), piscine passage, recreational activities, +/- thoughts on removal

Dams in Mexico Dam removal Function of current dams Main conflicts: social inequities ecological problems

Aguamilpa Dam Local populations relocated Economic losses Government reinforcement What’s needed?

Questions?

Fixing the Dam Problem What is it Going to Take? Jesse Price

On the Map

The simple debate VS

What is being done?

The 4 H’s 1.Hydropower dams 2.Habitat degradation 3.Harvesting 4.Habitat Misuse

What Stalls Progress? No clear goals for salmon recovery Short term funding Failure to consider the whole picture Lack of Cooperation between entities
