Crag 2018 Nestle Video
This is the story of how local community members prevented Nestlé from bottling and selling public spring water in the Columbia Gorge. For nearly 10 years Crag helped community groups use land use laws to challenge this project, but we realized that these challenges would likely not be enough to stop the project. Crag then helped Hood River County residents draft and file a county ballot measure to prevent commercial bottled water production and to protect water resources. The measure passed by a landslide, with 68% of the vote.

The Hemlock Dam Removal Story - Columbia Basin Restoration
Next they might as well tear out the bridges and roads so the buffalo can return 😂
I dont know what the solution to that kind of problem is, but that wasn't it!
Brilliant success. Unfortunately here in the UK we are lagging behind, so many of our streams abd rivers have obstructions which could and should be removed, but the process has started. Keep uo your successes!😅
He should be in a rubber scuba diving suit, with air tanks...
Content is messed up.Make up your mind. Hemlock Dam or Trout Creek Dam, which is it?
Hopefully most of these unnecessary dams will be removed. These valuable watersheds are better than any manmade fish hatchery.
The Next time you hear someone claiming this or that or They built America. Tell Them Dams Built America. And that's the actual Damn Truth of It.
You're absolutely right...fish are more important than people. I've never seen a fish do anything to harm our environment. Humans, on the other hand, take it for granted.
The HABITAT is more important than your kids having a "Swimming Hole" !! For Christ's sake !!
GOOD!
EXCELLENT!!
humans in the dry west could use that water. it is a win for trout!
I just hope there's a way to put Beaver back in there I'm sure there were beaver in that system so that could be the Final Fix
Good job Way to go
It was good to see this Dam removed. Hopefully the plan to remove many Dams will continue to be implemented.
Right on, I'm sure when folks see the results, they will see that it is for the best.
Hydro electric was much cleaner then Coal fired Electric Power plants, but fush are more important. Clean air
ive been here before and after the removal
Typical, people still putting themselves over and above all else. Seriously? who gives a crap if your grandson can have a swimming hole? he will grow up and hopefully not feel so entitled.
Why dose it take so long to get the ok to remove these dams ?
Dams have a limited lifespan... Silt fills them up
The end game is no electricity, watch'em.
do you have a picture of that important fish ??
There is no access to Mt Saint Helens from the Columbia Gorge. Do your damn research.
take a dam out and they will come
We must undo the damage all of these hydro dams have caused. Man’s interference with nature has proven to be at every turn a detriment to this planet.
I was a avid oregon fishermen for many years. what I saw were dams that were more than 70% silted with mud holding very little water back. my favorite stream to fish in the summer was the hood river, but it had a silted little dam a couple miles up stream that kept the salmon and other fish from getting above it. there was lots of talk about taking that dam out, and I hope it was removed. the fishing was excellent and the food and night life in the city of hood was fantastic.
hippies ruining civilization. the glee on his face when he mentioned salmon being protected by the government. just sad
I enjoy the Wind RIver area.
This is all fine & dandy, until it just flows out into the ocean unchecked as a waste of fresh water during our permanent drought.
I would be curious to see what it looks like these days, it looked like they done a hell of a job 👍
Me too! I may have to take a trip down there just to take a look.
So much effort and energy when nature is sometimes easier, take a look at marmot dam removal.
Great project.
Just me but the intire Columbus River needs to be rid of dam's.
There will come a day when you'll wish you had that water behind a dam.
there was hardly any water behind it. it was mostly sediment.
Get ready, I'm adding this to a video that some views hoping to spread awareness
I grew up here swimming and catching salamanders and fishing. I know this was good but it makes a huge hole in my hart.
Sometimes this makes sense but to think this will save the salmon and steelhead is ludicrous. The MAJOR problem with the diminishing return’s is the over fishing. Asian fishing vessel’s right off our coast’s are decimating the population. They happily accept the fines they receive as they get to keep and sell their catch at considerable profit. There needs to be harsher penalties for all….
A list of ideas to sam dams. Fish Runs saving Dams and Water Shortages Update 7/4/2021 Do you have a nearby moving river or stream? You can now place a slow speed water generator on the bottom of the stream and make power 24 hours a day. The unit is called a Waterotor made in Canada. The Waterotors won't harm fish and can be scaled up to meet the needs of small towns or cities. Make the power miles away from the small town, sell the power to the power company than use the power to make water anywhere. Atmospheric water generators can make drinking water and irrigation water, and with a Waterotor, power can be made even in remote regions of the World. You just need moving water 3 to 4 miles an hour in streams, irrigation channels, fish ladders or even waste water outlet's. Garbage treatment plants can also use the power they make burning garbage to make water with atmospheric water generators and add storage tanks to supply small towns and cities. Adding Waterotors below dams can maximize electrical power made by any dam and replace power lost if the dam has a fish ladder or channel for fish to move up and down stream. A dam can be saved for flood control by adding these powered fish ladders and channels or notching the dam and putting in a flood gate to raise and lower the river during fish runs. Now people and fish can share the river. Note using the methane from sewage treatment plants or garbage landfills might be used to generate electricity for any water making projects. You might use your own City sewage system to make filtered irrigation water for lawns and gardens they have a system like that in my my small town. Note, what to make even more power? Then by covering fish ladders and channels with spaced solar panels decreases evaporation of the water and increases the efficiency of the solar panels. A now overdue idea, dealing with forest fires. You build and place atmospheric water generators and 100,000 to 5,000,000 gallon water tanks on hilltops to protect your town. You cover the tanks with solar panels and add wind turbines to make power anywhere. You sell the power, drinking water and irrigation water, then by adding irrigation pipes down the hillsides, you can create fire lines that lasts up to 24 hours. You make these fire lines by adding TetraKO, by Earth Clean at a 4 to 6 percent solution to the water. Turn on these stand alone units remotely, your fire trucks can work elsewhere or resupply themselves with needed water. Fire protection, drinking water, irrigation water and stand alone power for any city or town in need. Here again, Waterotor generators could be used to generate power for the hilltop water making units. These ideas all can be done today, just search RUclips, and then tell someone.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Might have better off leaving it in the barrels
what garbage.
So sad. To lose a swimming “ hole “ A for a “ bunch of stinking fish ! “. 60 yrs old going on 16 Dull Normal. Come on Pard ~ you can’t see what the World 🌎 has gained by removing that dam. Shame on you !!!
HAY as "mulch"??? Do the directors of this project not understand that a bale of hay holds thousands of hayseeds? Straw can be used as mulch, because straw is the de-seeded stems of oats. To use "hay" as mulch is the same as planting an extremely aggressive invasive plant. No transplanted small sapling or bush or native grass will survive in an area "mulched" with hay from bales. Hay, by definition, is grass with tightly attached seeds. Through the following spring, a thick carpet of new hay will cover this so-called transplanted area. Removal of this covering of hay, to rescue the small transplants, will not be possible. Is the speaker just using the wrong term for those bales? Is he looking at straw bales and talking about "hay"??? That would be bad enough, as the difference between a hay bale and a straw bale is obvious. Strands of straw are always flat. The color of a straw bale is characteristically golden-orange. Straw has almost no scent, because the food portion has been removed, as oats. A strand of hay is rounded. The color of a bale of hay is green-golden, and the scent is definitely hay-like or grass-like. And the HAYSEEDS are obvious. Did the directors of this "reclamation/restoration" project deliver hay bales to this site? This segment, with the "bales" of mulch, casts very serious doubt on the competency of the directors of this "restoration" project.
Better not promote dam removal on the Columbia with your mouth full of food grown by Eastern Washington irrigation. Take out small dams like this one, but not the Hoover Dam for one, or any of the other majors
Approximately 1100 farms will be bankrupted with the removal of dams. The barges that carry 60% of the nations wheat for export will now have difficulty navigating the river and will accelerate climate change. There are always two sides to a story
so... It took how many years to admit the fish ladders were a 'FLOP' while building more more? When will you guys admit the forests service is a tree farm? Nothing to do with wildlife. Wildlife is what occurs when there has not been enough damage to kill everything.
THAT STEELHEAD APPEARS TO HAVE 2 TUBE TAGS IN IT TOO.
Salmon are dieing at sea . Dams not the cause salmon going extinct. Research
no good
