On KUOW's Week in Review, Cliff Mass indicated that the Pacific Northwest
will need to build more reservoirs to catch the earlier snow pack melt due
to climate change.  Reservoirs requires dams that have their own
environmental issues.

DamNation: Length 87 minutes

This powerful film odyssey across America explores the sea change in our
national attitude from pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the
growing awareness that our own future is bound to the life and health of our
rivers. Dam removal has moved beyond the fictional Monkey Wrench Gang to go
mainstream. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving
salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds,
after decades without access. DamNation's majestic cinematography and
unexpected discoveries move through rivers and landscapes altered by dams,
but also through a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural
world to knowing ourselves as part of nature.

"A quick, smart documentary about the havoc one country can create in its
native fish populations by building 75,000 dams over an 80- or 90-year
span." - Chris Packham, Village Voice.
