Impacts of Run-of-River Hydropower Projects in British Columbia

 Link to a documentary on the local, social, and environmental  impacts of run-of-river hydropower projects near Duncan Lake in BC's Kooteney area.  Glacier and Howser Creeks are 2 of 5 rivers threatened by a 125 MW project slated to be constructed in the Purcell Mtn. wilderness area. Video by Save our Rivers, Rivers at Risk.  Currently, there are more than 450 private projects being considered in BC, with roughly 20 already under construction. http://saveourrivers.tv/glacier_howser.html
