Water managers begin spring spill to benefit juvenile salmon
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division
April 11, 2023 | 0:52
In April, the Northwestern Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers started spilling water on the Snake and Columbia rivers to help juvenile salmon migrate downstream. We met up with Julie Ammann, Reservoir Control Center chief at Bonneville Lock & Dam to check it out.

“The amount of spill that we do and how that water is released through the spillway might change a little bit; we make adjustments as we learn more about what works best for fish,” Julie said. “These projects provide a big benefit to the Pacific Northwest through the hydropower, the navigation, our fish operations.”
