I’ve heard similar stories about the moment the Elwha Dam (WA) came down–or shortly thereafter–salmon started swimming upstream as if they had been waiting there for 100 years!

It is going to be tough to get more pulses, more consistently, but then I hope my essay can be used to make the claim on the necessary acre-feet to sluice down the complex of ditches and channels.

All kinds of different birds started arriving within just a few minutes. I really wish that more pulse flows would occur on a more regular basis. But alas, the river is dying.
