Cold Water Release Saves Salmon | Boise News

Heatwaves are frying salmon and steelhead in western Idaho and southeastern Washington, turning rivers too warm for these fish to survive. In a bold move, the Army Corps of Engineers dumped icy water from the massive Dworshak Dam—standing 717 feet tall with year-round 42°F depths—to cool waters downstream, helping keep temps below 66°F near Lower Granite Dam. Working with fisheries agencies, this temporary fix offers relief but can’t solve the bigger problem: other dams along the Snake River also heat the water, and critics say a free-flowing river would be far better for fish. Dams remain a double-edged sword—helping cool waters now while historically blocking migration, prompting ongoing debate over their long-term impact on native fish.
