Mimicking rain to help salmon in the Dungeness
The Dungeness is experiencing one of its worst water years on record. Water levels are so low in some stretches of the Dungeness River that salmon are having difficulty making it upstream. WWT is coordinating pulse flows with local partners and securing water leases to help salmon and other wildlife during the drought.
Our mission is to protect and restore water in rivers and streams across Washington state. We craft smart, collaborative solutions to our freshwater challenges that will withstand the test of time in our rapidly changing world.
Commonly thought of as a water-rich state, Washington's freshwater resources are at risk from past mismanagement, climate change, and increasing demand. The good news is we are doing something about it.
Since 1998, we have worked across the state from the San Juan Islands to the Palouse restoring water to thousands of river miles in more than 50 rivers and streams.
The Teanaway River, a critical tributary in the Yakima basin for salmon, steelhead and trout, struggled for many years, often running dry. Watch our short film Teanaway: A Stream Flows Again to see how people are coming together to help the river make a comeback.
