WaterWatch of Oregon
Приєднався 4 сер 2020
Since 1985, WaterWatch has pursued a single clear mission: To protect and restore flows in our rivers to sustain the native fish, wildlife, and the people who depend on healthy rivers. WaterWatch was the first organization in the West to seek structural reform of antiquated water laws to protect and restore our rivers.
Removal of Williams-Whalen Dam
Crews finished demolition of the abandoned Williams-Whalen Dam in June, a former concrete diversion dam located in Evans Creek near Wimer in Jackson County. Produced and directed by Crystal Nichols for the Rogue River Watershed Council, in conjunction with WaterWatch of Oregon, M and M Services, River Design Group, and Staton Companies, Inc. Visit WaterWatch.org for more on how you can support our work for Oregon's rivers and native fish.
