Dam Removal Policy Recommendations: Results of the Aspen Institute Dialogue
In September 2000, The Aspen Institute's Program on Energy, the Environment and the Economy invited a group of experts to engage in a two-year long dialogue about the issue of dam removal. The twenty-six experts are involved in various aspects of dam and river management, represent a full range of interests and work regularly with responsible government agencies, dam owners, nongovernmental organizations, and dam users and beneficiaries. Using an intentional, values-based method of dialogue, the group engaged in a series of eight three-day meetings over a period of two years. During this time they worked to express, inform, and integrate their values, knowledge and understanding in order to create new thinking to guide policy and practice affecting dams and rivers. The resulting report — Dam Removal: A New Option For a New Century — provides the group's recommendations and practical advice aimed at integrating the dam removal option into river management decisions, evaluating the options fairly and, if appropriate, implementing the dam removal option effectively. The imprimatur of this diverse group, with interests that are often at odds, lends a unique weight to the recommendations.
