Klamath River (Hydroelectric Project)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by WillKanz (talk | contribs) at 07:17, 4 March 2019 (Added my outline for the Klamath River Relicensing). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Everything in the article is relevant to the topic which is the Water Commission Act of 1913. One thing I did find slightly distracting is the contents section just below the introduction.

It seemed that all the information was correct and to date. I think it was a good idea to include court rulings such as the Lux v. Haggin California Supreme Court ruling. It helps add context and more information as to why we have these water rights.


The article seemed to be neutral and didn't put his or her two sense. It was all based on facts and no opinions. Nothing was underrepresented, in fact some things could have been explained in further detail such as the court rulings and how the gold rush plays a role in these water rights.


There is only one external link and it works. All other links that are attached to the article also work. I think this person covered most of the facts with citations although the references section at the bottom is quite short compared to all the links that are given throughout the article. These sources are from reliable places with no bias.


The only edits that other people used seem to be with the links and sources and nothing with the actual article.

Water Commission Act of 1913


My topic that I will be talking about is the Klamath River Hydroelectric project and include the future of the project.

Outline:

Introduction: Introduce PacifiCorp, the beginning process of relicensing of the Klamath Hydroelectric project, and the other agencies that take place in the process of the Klamath Hydroelectric Relicensing Agreement. (KHRA)

Introduce the actual hydroelectric project, the dams, and what they provide for humans and wildlife.

The History of the Klamath River specifically the tribes and the gold rush era. I will also talk about the sawmill that polluted the water of the Klamath River. I will dig into some of the legal aspects of the Klamath River in this paragraph.

Talk about the fisheries and how important the Klamath river is for not just fish, but for recreation/commercial fishing as well as for the tribes.

Water Quality: This is where I start talking about what the problems are with the Klamath River. I'm not sure how in detailed I will get with this part but the algal will be the main point of discussion.

The KHSA (Klamath River Settlement Agreement) will be a good leeway. This is where I talk about how far the process has gone, and where it is projected to be in the future.
