          that surprised me as I was reporting it out. We often hear about the sorry state of U.S. waterways. But thanks to the removal of dams, more sections of rivers across the U.S. were reconnected last year than at any other point in history, according to the nonprofit group American Rivers. Nearly 4,900 miles of waterways were reconnected because of the removal of around 100 dams.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          The biggest reason cited for the removals? The ecological benefits, followed by concerns about dam dilapidation and failure, with safety issues coming in third.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          Last year, Pennsylvania led the way, with 14 dams removed; followed by Massachusetts, with 11; and Vermont, with 9. This tracks with where dams were built in the U.S. in the first place.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          “Dams were part of our early history and the Industrial Revolution,” said Serena McClain, who oversees dam removal for American Rivers. “If you look at all the dams in the Northeast, they powered grist mills to grind flour, and textile mills to make fabric. And all of these early industries certainly put in dams for irrigation so that farmers and others could withdraw water from the stream.”
         </span>

        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          Of course, the Industrial Revolution happened a long time ago, and many of the dams built then, and since, have become not just obsolete, but also harmful. The average dam in the U.S. was built around 60 years ago. Along with creating stagnant water and preventing fish and other aquatic species from reaching healthy habitats, many of America’s dams are in danger of failing, and can pose a safety risk.

          A vast majority of the country’s dams are what Desiree Tullos, a professor in biological and ecological engineering at Oregon State University, described as “dinky” and “deadbeat.” Oftentimes, they were built decades ago to create swimming holes and for fishing. While the National Inventory of Dams tracks 92,000 dams, including those deemed high-risk, there are hundreds of thousands of such smaller dams in place all over the country.

          Over the years, an increasing number of dams have been taken out. Between 1912 and 2025, some 2,350 dams have been removed, according to American Rivers.

          Two big reasons that states such as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts lead the way in removals are the state measures put in place to deal with aging infrastructure and the initiatives that promote resilience in the face of extreme weather. For example, Massachusetts has a bond act that funds dam repair and removal, McClain said. And Pennsylvania has a dam safety law that dates back more than 100 years, and also allows dams to be removed for ecological reasons.

          Pennsylvania also has a secret weapon: Lisa Hollingsworth-Segedy, a representative with American Rivers who helps municipalities navigate the dam removal process. She has personally overseen the removal of about 110 dams and counting, including two dams removed last summer from the river in Bedford, Pa., which I wrote about in today’s article.

          She has shepherded the removal of hydropower dams that no longer serve a purpose and centuries-old dams that powered long-gone mills on family farms and had become too expensive for the property owners to take out.
         </span>
        </p>
        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          “When it comes to fish and problems with the environment, it’s not the size of the dam that matters,” Hollingsworth-Segedy told me, “it’s the fact that the dam is there and it’s changing the river.”
         </span>

        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          She said dams have often become so much a part of the landscape that locals can’t imagine waterways without them, regardless of how obsolete or harmful the dam might be. At public meetings, she told me, she has heard people say that if a dam were to be removed, the river would go away, or the fish would never come back, or the waterway would turn into a permanent ugly mudhole.
         </span>

        <p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
         <span>
          But after pretty much every dam removal, she told me, when water again flows freely, and fish and other wildlife and plants return, the people who initially opposed it do an about-face. They’ll tell her, “‘I can’t believe I was ever against it,’” she said.

          If deforestation and global warming continue unchecked, the Amazon rainforest could begin a gradual transition to a degraded, grassland-like ecosystem in just a few decades, according to new research published on Wednesday. The study provides new insight into when the forest might start to slip over

          Deforestation can create a feedback loop that reduces rainfall and causes even more trees to die, and can raise wildfire risk. As one researcher put it: “If you lose forests, then you lose rainfall.”

          Among the study’s other findings: In a theoretical world without deforestation in the Amazon, the rainforest would be able to withstand up to 3.7 degrees Celsius, or about 6.7 degrees Fahrenheit, of global warming over preindustrial temperatures, the researchers found.

          The agency’s roster of more than 2,500 scientists shrank by about 15 percent last year through firings and early retirements.

          that what air-conditioning is available in parts of South and Southeast Asia has become too expensive to run since the war in Iran began, thanks to higher oil and gas prices. (About 80 percent of the oil that normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz goes to Asia.)

          That has meant an intense heat wave is colliding with high electricity and fuel prices, making life hard to bear in some countries in the region. Governments in Indonesia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have declared four-day workweeks for the public sector. In Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, some universities have partly closed. Rural areas in Bangladesh have been hit by unannounced blackouts for more than 10 hours a day.
