A record year for dam removals reconnects US rivers. 100 dams were removed in 2025, reconnecting over 7,900 km of rivers, the largest single-year total on record. Many of the structures were obsolete or unsafe, and their removal is already restoring fish migration routes, reducing flood risks, and reviving ecosystems.
