Tara Lohan has spent years writing about various environmental issues. She has become particularly interested in dam removal and what that means for the environment and the people who rely on those rivers. Lohan has just released a new book titled, “Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life”.
Lohan discusses how dams have affected the nation. With more than 500,000 dams in place, America has blocked or diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and obstructing passages for fish and other aquatic animals. Now a movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures and restore new life to rivers and the communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.
