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.

Jonas shares the work involved in removing these dams and the benefits to the community that their removal can provide.
