This article is about Massachusetts, which has nearly 3,000 dams, but Pennsylvania and other states just here in the Northeast have just about the same number each, and the same problems and risks are out there. For conservationists and aquatic biologists, the damming of a stream means death for the species whose home waters are being dammed, warmed and otherwise degraded. The problems are not limitedto big monsters like Glen Canyon, but cover the gazillions of smaller structures that shackle creek after creek after creek.
