Reading "Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life" by Tara Lohan

Undammed: Freeing Rivers and Bringing Communities to Life by Tara Lohan is a non-fiction book about the growing movement to remove obsolete dams to restore rivers, wildlife, and communities. Lohan, an environmental journalist, explores the benefits of dam removal, such as improved water quality, enhanced public safety, and the restoration of fish populations, using case studies like the Klamath River dam removal project. The book argues that undoing past engineering mistakes can lead to significant ecological and human benefits, creating a more resilient and connected world.
