Overview of Dams On the Tusc and its Tributaries

This week we're looking at how the Tuscarawas River is affected by dams, especially along its tributaries. There are very few rivers in the world that are unaffected along their length by dams and takes, and the Tusc is no exception. When exploring new watershed management techniques and options, it is well to remember we're never approaching a blank slate - most, if not all, watersheds are already being managed, and often times for purely anthropocentric benefit. The question may become, then, can we simply add management to management? Or do we need to undo some previous development if we seek to shift a watershed toward the benefit of biodiversity? Can we even undo previous development? Not easy questions, to be sure - but necessary ones.
