Deal reached to level four Klamath Dams

A deal has been reached between tribes, farmers, fisherman, and the hydroelectric company that owns four controversial dams on the Klamath River to bring down the dams and restore 300 miles of salmon habitat. In today's paper, the editorial board of the Chronicle raves about the deal. For those interested in bird conservation, the hope is that by restoring natural flows to these systems, we will create a more hospitable environment for California's migratory birds, which have been hit hard by water diversion.
