A delicate balance: Hydropower and salmon in a changing climate

Press release

From Stockholm Environment Institute - Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2011

Coalition response...Excuse us, but making the case that hydropower operations are a significant factor in salmon survivability is nothing more than a red herring. It is now generally accepted that the major impediments to salmon survivability are invasive species that compete for food, non-native predators in the Delta including bass that consume baby salmon by the millions, and tons of ammonium dumped into the Delta ecosystem everyday in the form of wastewater discharges. In comparison, upstream restoration activities already completed in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys have largely eliminated the impacts on salmon by water diversion facilities.
