OM DENNE EPISODE
Jonas Procton, Water Resources Engineer with Horsley Witten Group, returns to the podcast to talk about freeing rivers in New England by removing problematic dams. Thousands of dams, big and small, once powered the region's industrial operations. Since then, many have been abandoned, fallen into disrepair, and impede the flow of water and the movement of aquatic animals. Jonas shares the work involved in removing these dams and the benefits to the community that their removal can provide.
