Good for the fish but as winters get warmer these dams will be useful to store rain that doesn't stay put in the mountains as winter snow. This might mean more summer droughts. Also a nice clean source of power. I would rather see fish ladders.

You actually want to restore the river to be more resilient as the earth warms, fish returning empowers many other parts of a river ecosystem.

Install dedicated water tanks to store water, evaporation rates are much less.
