A UW-designed dam removal tool moves data rather than concrete

Dam removal is growing in popularity so that fish routes can be restored and they can be removed before they fail and cause harm. But which ones should be removed first? A recent study on barriers in the Great Lakes Basin looked to answer that question with a new tool called Fishwerks. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed an online application to help decide which removal project is the best removal project.
