Dams and Culverts - Reconnecting Our Waterways

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZmvoVE4dAg

This video shows how culverts and dams can impact flood risk and fish habitat. We can reconnect our rivers for fish and climate resilience. Ways to do this include upgrading (or ?rightsizing?) culverts and removing aging dams. Partners are supporting local communities to reconnect our rivers and streams. This helps restore the Hudson Valley?s natural areas. This video highlights projects in the towns of Ancram and Cortlandt, and the City of Newburgh, NY.
