  • A lot to celebrate: Whitewater guides talk Klamath dams and dam removal
    Aug 9 2023

    Since the construction of JC Boyle, whitewater recreation occurs via
    scheduled releases from the dam. Known colloquially as the “Upper
    Klamath,” this reach of the river has legendary rapids with big waves and
    exciting drops. With the dams gone, flows will be much more variable and
    less predictable, eliminating the reach as a reliable option for guiding
    businesses. This will be a loss for outfitters and recreational users of the
    river, but as you’ll hear, dam removal also creates some new opportunities.
    This episode was recorded on the banks of the Upper Klamath with guides
    from Indigo Creek Outfitters

    Aug 8 2023

    Want to know what scientists think could happen with all of that sediment (13
    million cubic yards!) stored behind the dams? Or how the temperature,
    nutrients, and algae in the river could change? Chauncey Anderson, recently
    retired from the US Geological Survey, helps unpack what we think we know
    about the water quality changes ahead for the Klamath and where the gaps in
    our knowledge are
