Reservoir Drawdown Begins for Klamath River Dam Removal
The next big step in Klamath River dam removal is here: reservoir drawdown. On January 11, 2024, initiated the drawdown process by opening the low-level outlet tunnel in the Iron Gate Dam. This is an exciting milestone towards dam removal, and we are thrilled to share...![Dam Removal on the Klamath: Reflections on How We Got here](https://hydroreform.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Copco_No._2_Courtesy_Dave_Meurer_KRRC-1-1024x768-1-1024x675.jpg)
