Watch the latest in Save Our Rivers' new video series, "Rivers at Risk," on the mighty Ryan River in the agricultural valley of Pemberton, BC. The Ryan is slated to have a significant amount of its natural flow diverted through a 10 KM-long, 5 metre-wide tunnel for a massive 145 megawatt private river power project proposed by Regional Power Inc. Farming families going back generations here in "Spud Valley" are concerned the project would increase flood risks from the wild, powerful Ryan - and that heavy environmental impacts like road and tunnel building, and the proposed 26.5 KM transmission line would damage eco-tourism and fish and wildlife values. They are also very concerned about the dangers of handing over our watersheds for private power - namely the loss of control of our water and energy security.
