Dianne,

I can't access the web site mentioned below
(http://washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A44823-2000Dec8?language=3Dprint=).
Unluckily, I didn't print the article when I received the message. Does
anybody have this article?? 

Which is the scientific article featuring:  "... deconstruction of the
Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine last 
year and the amazing return of millions of alewife to their ancestral
waters.." as mentioned in the message below. Could anybody provide me with
the correct reference (quotation)?

Thank you in advance.

Gerd

Restoring Rivers--At a High Price=20

By William Booth

VENTURA, Calif. =96=96 It was not too long ago that the call to 
dismantle
thousands of the nation's dams, and thereby return rivers to their 
natural
ways, was considered radical, unrealistic or downright un-American.

Yet today the dam-removal movement has entered the mainstream of public
opinion, gaining enough support that policymakers seriously are
considering pulling down hundreds of dams.

States such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are already far along in
dam-removal efforts. In the past eight years, more than 200 dams have 
been
dismantled, and the pace appears to be accelerating since the
deconstruction of the Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine last 
year
and the amazing return of millions of alewife to their ancestral 
waters.
