    Many years ago, efforts began to tear down four dams that were established along the Klamath River, the main issue being that the water diversions and dams had greatly disrupted Klamath’s salmon population, they needed to be destroyed in order to reestablish their upstream habit, and dismantling them would open up hundreds of miles of the Klamath River for coho salmon. This was a combined effort made through cooperation, negotiation, and compromise between very different people.…

    At each level there are a variety of issues that require water cooperation. Dealing with increasing water scarcity, water abstraction and decision on water allocation, dam construction, and chronic and accidental water pollution by industry, as well as implementation of existing treaty provisions, often require water cooperation. Water cooperation among stakeholders is often the key for effective and appropriate local level decisions both in cities and in agriculture. As growing populations, urbanization and economic development all require more water for agricultural, municipal and industrial uses, there are greater risks. This said, it is usually factors outside the water domain that are decisive in creating situations that require mutually acceptable decisions and agreements.…
