Scott Bosse Water Quotations

That means spilling water over the dams from spring until fall, 24 hours a day, as opposed to using turbines.

Juvenile salmon have a biological clock that begins ticking as soon as they begin their trip to the ocean. They need to undergo changes that will allow them to adapt from fresh water creatures to salt water creatures and arrive at the ocean at the same time their bodies have completed the transformation.

The report calls for more water flow on a voluntary basis. It does not require any one that is involved to make sacrifices. The new plan relies on maximum fish barging. This is not the aggressive non-dam breaching plan NMFS said it was going to be. It's a passive, non-breaching plan.

The only time the dams are efficient at producing energy is during the spring runoff months. We can't simply flip a switch and release water that isn't there.
