Removing the Elwah River Dams Timelapse

December 20, 2015 By JD Leave a Comment


This is such an awesome sight…the two dams on Washington’s Elwah River coming down. The project is especially cool because the watershed above the old reservoirs is in Olympic National Park…and is thus protected and pristine.

Over the past couple seasons, salmon and steelhead habe neen repopulating the upper reaches of the drainage!
