Why didn’t they lower the water level then dredge the foot of the dam before tearing it down?
Not easily accomplished .
A century of toxic sedimentation exists in the entire river basin and valleys behind the dams.
How would they divert the flowing water to the dam, while fighting ongoing water flows? How about why didn’t they leave it in place. Seriously? Who gives a good gawdam what the tribal people want? Tell them to pound sand, they have superior rights to US citizens, PLUS citizen rights. If they want to fish, get in line with everyone else.
