Snake river dams

Recommended Posts

Came across this article. I don't know which dams it refers to or where they are located. Is the section in twin falls dam controlled? It seems placid and consistent enough in water level that I always assumed it was.

The river is dam controlled in Twin Falls.  The nearest dam is just upstream from the bridge.  The river flow was completely shut down this fall for invasive species management.  The river has also been intentionally dropped in the past in search and recovery operations for missing persons (both jumpers and non jumpers).

The dams in the article are hells canyon, oxbow,and brownlee dams. Some environmentalists think fish runs will return with dam removal. Unfortunately once a run is gone it’s gone forever! It’s just another political ploy for power, so a small group of people can impose their will on the rest of us!
