The Water Education Foundation’s second edition of the Layperson’s Guide to The Klamath River Basin is hot off the press and available for purchase.

Updated and redesigned, the easy-to-read overview comes as the nation’s largest dam removal project is underway with the first of four Klamath River hydropower dams demolished this year.

The Layperson’s Guide covers the history of the region’s tribal, agricultural and environmental relationships with one of the West’s largest rivers. The river’s vast watershed straddles Cailfornia and Oregon and hosts one of the nation’s oldest and largest reclamation projects.

You can learn how dramatic water shortages and massive salmon die-offs led to the landmark agreement to remove four obsolete hydropower dams blocking salmon passage to hundreds of miles of spawning habitat.

The guide is available to purchase for $18 through the Foundation’s website. For bulk orders, contact Kayla Sergent via email.
