New Maps Show U.S. Rivers With High Natural Values

Data can help inform decisions on dam removal and protection measures

 
 

"The first database includes assessments and analyses of biodiversity, ecological conditions, and degrees of protection for freshwater systems within the continental U.S. The second database provides a wealth of information that can be used to assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of removing obsolete or dangerous dams across the country. Policymakers can use these maps to help determine how best to leverage resources to safeguard rivers."
