I'm no expert on that region, but here in USA / Canada we have the Columbia River. There are dams on the Columbia that are upstream from our dams here in USA. Operation of all those dams is governed by a treaty called The Columbia River Treaty. The dams in Canada are actually seen as beneficial to dams farther down stream as they store water. This allows more water to be available at times when it's needed downstream for electric power production. The river usually has peak flow during snow melt in spring, but the dams store that water for when it's needed at other times of the year. Cooperation is the name of the game.Theslowlane Robert Ashworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10082164332880198884noreply@blogger.com
