Free-flowing rivers in the United States are an endangered species. We’ve dammed and diverted almost every major river, straightening curves and blocking passage for fish and other aquatic animals, pushing many to the brink. Now a heartening new movement is helping to demolish harmful or obsolete structures, restoring new life to rivers and communities that depend on them. In doing so, it offers a pathway to undoing environmental harm to nature—and to ourselves.

In Undammed, environmental journalist Tara Lohan makes a case for the unexpected benefits of dam removal. By restoring rivers, she argues, we’re protecting our own communities by increasing climate resilience, improving water quality, enhancing public safety, and boosting fish populations that feed people and restore rights for Native American Tribes. Undammed is an inspirational look at our changing relationship with the natural world, showing the cascade of benefits that come when we no longer turn our backs on rivers.
