📰 Dam Removals Spark Massive Alewife Comeback
🌎 Maine: After decades of decline, migrating alewife populations have rebounded from under 800 fish to more than 9 million thanks to sustained dam removal and river‑restoration efforts.
🐟 With seals, otters, bald eagles, ospreys, pollock, trout and other carnivores feeding on large populations, communities now celebrate annual alewife festivals, highlighting how ecological restoration can revive cultural traditions and local economies.

#WaterburyCT receives $339K DEEP grant for #RisdonDam removal project
By Dalton Zbierski, 7/4/2026
"A vision in Waterbury is en route to becoming reality, as the city received a grant from the state this week to help kickstart the Risdon #DamRemoval Project on South Main Street.
"The $339,000 Long Island Sound Ecosystems Grant from the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection will fund an important early stage of the project to remove the aging Risdon Dam.
"The grant will cover the environmental investigation, engineering design and permitting required for the removal of the dam, which is located behind the former factory at 2100 South Main St.
"A release this week from the city announced the award from DEEP and explained the purpose of the project.
"Removing the dam will restore the natural flow of #HopevillePondBrook, a tributary of the #NaugatuckRiver within the #LongIslandSound #watershed.
"The project aims to improve #AquaticHabitat, reconnect #StreamCorridors, reduce #FloodRisk and eliminate a deteriorating structure that poses safety risks for nearby properties and infrastructure, according to city officials.
"It will take approximately one year to complete the planning, design and permitting phase. Then, the construction will move on to bidding.
"On Wednesday, Waterbury Mayor Paul Pernerewski, Jr. said the grant represents another significant investment in the city’s infrastructure and #EnvironmentalStewardship.
" 'Removing the Risdon Dam will improve the health of Hopeville Pond Brook, reduce flood risks and help restore a more resilient #ecosystem for #FutureGenerations,' Pernerewski said.
"The mayor also thanked #DEEP for its support and collaboration in helping the project move forward.
"DEEP Commissioner #KatieDykes, who will be leaving her position this month, said the project marks the state’s commitment to protecting and ensuring the health and perseverance of its waterways and the Long Island Sound Watershed.
" 'Supporting the planning, engineering and design needed to move this project toward construction will help advance future improvements to #StreamConnectivity, aquatic habitat and #FloodResilience,' Dykes said.
"The funding was made available to DEEP through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Long Island Sound Partnership National Estuary Program."

#NativeAmericaCalling: In the parched West, tribes restore waterways to improve quality and quantity
Thursday, June 11, 2026
"A site of tragedy for the Northwestern Band of the #ShoshoneNation has become a place of renewal and promise.
"The tribe has worked for the past seven years to revitalize the land of the 1863 #BearRiverMassacre. By eradicating #InvasiveSpecies, reviving #NativePlants, and returning water canals to their natural paths, the tribe is significantly boosting both water quality and flow of the river.
"The area is one of the biggest sources of water for the #GreatSaltLake, and officials say the tribe’s efforts could be part of a solution to preventing the iconic body of water from disappearing amid an increasingly dry climate.
"And in #Montana, the Confederated #Salish and #Kootenai Tribes continue work as part of a historic compact to revitalize the #JockoRiver. Tune in to discuss how Indigenous knowledge is providing promise against a troubling trend."

👉 it is not restoration — it is ecological replacement.

3 #African Cities Restore #Nature to Revitalize Their #Rivers
By Eden Takele, Marc Manyifika, Japheth Habinshuti, Adane Kebede, Alemakef Tassew, Amanda Gcanga, Mulalo Mbedzi and Nikara Mahadeo, March 12, 2025
"Africa’s cities, from large metropolises to smaller towns, are increasingly characterized by growing #UrbanSprawl. #Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, is expanding by about 2,000 people and 5 hectares (10 football fields) every day, according to a World Bank estimate. #Kumasi, an intermediary city in #Ghana, is growing more than 5% every year — at least twice as fast as the capital city, Accra.
As cities and surrounding farmlands expand further into their hinterlands, they encroach upon watersheds essential to water supply and climate resilience.
Watersheds are the natural area of land that drain into a common body of water. The consequences of their degradation are threefold. Without tree cover and healthy soils to absorb rainfall, cities may lose a critical source for groundwater recharge, leading to water shortages. Not only does the quantity of water suffer, so does its quality. Without strong roots to protect and anchor the soil, sediment and the chemicals within it are washed into nearby water bodies, often the primary source for a city’s drinking water. That same runoff can turn into floodwater.
How Natural Infrastructure Supports #WaterSecurity.
Many cities that once depended on their watersheds for water now face both increasing scarcity and heightened vulnerability to #extremeWeather. There are, however, #NatureBasedSolutions to help alleviate these problems.
Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are starting to deliver positive results in three African cities..."

As cities and surrounding farmlands expand further into their hinterlands, they encroach upon watersheds essential to water supply and climate resilience.
Watersheds are the natural area of land that drain into a common body of water. The consequences of their degradation are threefold. Without tree cover and healthy soils to absorb rainfall, cities may lose a critical source for groundwater recharge, leading to water shortages. Not only does the quantity of water suffer, so does its quality. Without strong roots to protect and anchor the soil, sediment and the chemicals within it are washed into nearby water bodies, often the primary source for a city’s drinking water. That same runoff can turn into floodwater.
How Natural Infrastructure Supports #WaterSecurity.
Many cities that once depended on their watersheds for water now face both increasing scarcity and heightened vulnerability to #extremeWeather. There are, however, #NatureBasedSolutions to help alleviate these problems.
Through a combination of upland foresting and urban greening, watershed restoration efforts are starting to deliver positive results in three African cities..."

3 #African Cities Restore #Nature to Revitalize Their #Rivers

"Africa’s cities, from large metropolises to smaller towns, are increasingly characterized by growing #UrbanSprawl. #Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, is expanding by about 2,000 people and 5 hectares (10 football fields) every day, according to a World Bank estimate. #Kumasi, an intermediary city in #Ghana, is growing more than 5% every year — at least twice as fast as the capital city, Accra.
