You actually want to restore the river to be more resilient as the earth warms, fish returning empowers many other parts of a river ecosystem.
Install dedicated water tanks to store water, evaporation rates are much less.
Most of the folks on the forum are not engineers, you can't expect them to understand the downstream effects of their decisions.
so, the engineers who built the dams did understand the downstream effects of their decisions? and they did it anyway?
Likely yes. Different times, different sensibilities. But also there’s always a range of opinions even among experts. How long did it take medicine to agree on tobacco use and whether an egg is healthy?

Dams can make rivers more resilient.
