Overview
American Rivers’ Hydropower Reform Coalition is a consortium of more than 160 organizations working alongside agencies, industry, tribes, and communities to restore and protect rivers across the West. This Western Conservation grantee works to educate the public and policymakers about threats to rivers, and inform the federal and state licensing process and policies governing dams across the country, toward improving water quality, providing better passage for salmon and other fish species, increasing recreational and economic opportunities, and providing overall protection of critical watersheds.

Founded in 1992, the Hydropower Reform Coalition (a fiscally sponsored project of American Rivers), is a diverse consortium of more than 160 national, regional, and local conservation and recreation organizations dedicated to protecting and restoring rivers affected by hydropower dams. Working together, the coalition has protected or restored thousands of river miles, thousands of acres of watershed land, and countless opportunities for boating, fishing, and other recreational experiences.
