FYI

⚠️🚣🛑 April is Low-Head Dam Awareness Month! American Whitewater is part of a collective of nonprofit organizations that has come together to help spread information about the dangers of low-head dams to our communities and the public at large. This illustration and the following description of this extreme hazard are excerpted from the American Whitewater Safety Code:

"Hydraulics around man-made dams must be treated with extra caution and the utmost respect, regardless of their height or the level of flow in the river. Despite their benign appearance, low-head dams can create an escape-proof trap. The swimmer’s only exit is to swim back into the curtain of water forming the hydraulic, ball up, and allow themselves to be pushed towards the river bottom where the current flows downstream. This technique also works for exiting strong, naturally forming hydraulics."

The overall message is to stay away from these drowning machines and help boaters and other river users recognize low-head dams and the danger they pose to river runners. From tubers and fishermen to flatwater rec boaters and newbie whitewater paddlers–you can make a difference by spreading awareness about the deadly hazard that low-head dams present!
