Posted by: RSS In: Usgs.gov

Dams don’t help just by holding water back. By opening Glen Canyon
Dam’s jet tubes for a high flow experiment—scheduled to take place on
March 5—scientists can study and improve resources in Grand Canyon
National Park. Learn more by listening to our interview with John
Hamill, USGS Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Program Chief.
