text: we have seen the dead salmon floating down the river. That was due to a low flow and the river baked in the heat. That's with the dam holding back reserves. Take the dam out and that's going to happen every other year. As for replacing bulbs, done that. These bulbs do not remotely last as long as they claim and are like low flow toilets. You flush 5 times wasting water. Now I throw away 3 light bulbs replacing 1. Like low flow toilets, will be another 20 years before they have this down. The reality is these dams are at the end of their life and need replaced. This isn't about hydro power, it's about reservoirs holding back water for irrigation, and to keep the flow up on the river in late summer months. They need to rebuild the dam, regardless of hydro and put a fish ladder in. Restoring this river to the wild will backfire. It was overfishing salmon that did them in. Not dams.
