Original Article here.
Story Highlights • Some have suggested dredging the Clam River to increase its water capacity and reduce the impact of flooding that occurred in April. • Experts, including an engineer who evaluated the Clam River dam and conditions downstream of it, say due to the unique characteristics of the river, dredging it likely would not increase water flow enough to make a difference, unless the entire length of the river were dredged. • In addition to being prohibitively expensive, dredging the entire river would have a major negative impact on wildlife, including fish and insects that have adapted to the river’s conditions since it was created by glaciers thousands of years ago.
