American Rivers Dam Removal Database

American Rivers’ Dam Removal Database includes all dam removals in the United States (of which we have been made aware) in which a significant portion of the dam has been removed for the full height of the dam, such that ecological function, natural river flow and fish passage can be restored at the site. This database is revised and updated annually with information provided by contributors across the country. The database may be used by anyone provided that citation is given to American Rivers and the DOI link is included.
