Lucrezia Lozza, "Why Europe is dismantling its dams" https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240229-why-europe-is-removing-its-dams

Similarly, in the United States, many are due to be re-licensed, sparking discussions about whether they are still fit to yield services. And it is not just big dams: millions of small barriers block European rivers.»
