Hydropower is a major source of renewable energy in New England with over 50 dams scheduled for relicensing in the next decade. In New Hampshire, we have thousands of aging milldams that were once used to power the nation's Industrial Revolution. Dams provide recreational and water supply benefits for many communities, but some pose safety and liability risks due to old age and poor condition. Also, dams can have adverse effects on coastal ecosystems and economies, especially fisheries. This projectis a stakeholder-engaged, solutions-focused research initiative focused on the many complex decisions that will need to be made about the future of dams in New England.
