Event Details

And you thought the Rio Grande was a source of conflict?

The new movie “River of Renewal” chronicles the long conflict over the 10-million-acre Klamath River Basin, which spans the Oregon-California border

Competing demands for water, food, and energy have pitted farmers, American Indians, and commercial fishermen against each other for decades.

But, wait, there’s good news for a change: Remarkably, this conflict over resources has led to a consensus for conservation in this vast river basin that was once North America’s third greatest salmon-producing river. The outcome will likely be the largest dam removal project in U.S. history and the most ambitious effort ever to restore the habitat of a federally protected species. Wow.
