    Great, great job! My heart leaps for joy to see rewilding restoration projects that repair and heal the natural habitat. Our earth is so precious, and to see part of it being helped to recover is just fantastic!

    When you restore a water way you are returning it back to what nature's original path was . More restoration of all rivers , creek's and pond's , etc . are needed . Man's presence has altered nature's natural course . We are learning from our mistakes . In the long term nature always win's.

    Centralised Dam creates complete dependancy with uncertainity all the time (old world work methods). The decentralised, diversified watersheds offers complete freedom ie independancy from devastations and dangers with sure Sustainability everytime for our new world.

    Whenever there is need for water through dams it can be done by creating natural river system by way of delta management with micro conservation just as we build new highways whereever it is necessary.

    River centric approach ( ONLY) of constructing dams or other necessary structures is the new world method whereas Human centric approach of constructions was a disaster recepie of the old world method. In vedas आपः ie water is mentioned almost 21 to 25 times in various descriptions that highlights, how we have to treat different waters and what the water should be like after its treatment.

    So what happened to the mobile home park? Did they move to a new site as nice as the old one? Were they compensated fully? Or was the project just a front to open up prime land for development? Too many times, that is the answer.

    So delta management with micro conservation is the key instead of summation of delta management amidst occasional macro conservation.

    The bridge across the river should be enlarged for a greater capacity to pass a larger volume of water and debris in the river.

    Common sense. One flooded home at Harmony Dam was the cost of removing the dam.

    you can see the errosion of the banks starting. That water is flowing very fast in soft sediment... not sure where this will go, but it may be a problem in the future
