Oregon Revealed Water Around Us
In Oregon, water surrounds us, falling from the sky as rain and filling our many lakes, rivers and streams. Water refreshes our deserts and creates the lush green landscapes and snowy mountain peaks we call home. In this Oregon Field Guide special, we dive below the surface and fly above the clouds to show you water like you have never seen it before.

Condit Dam 10-Years Later
A look at how the White Salmon river has recovered 10-years after the Condit dam was demolished. In 2011, the hopes of river runners, biologists, land managers, and local tribes were staked on one unknown premise: remove the 100-year old Condit dam and the White Salmon river would return to its natural state. A decade later, we return to see if those hopes have been realized.

Range Fence Removal
There are no cows left on Pine Creek Conservation Area, northeast of Bend, but there is barbed wire fence. And soon part of the conservation area will become federally protected wilderness.

Lake Abert Dries Up
Three million migrating shorebirds depend on it for food. Drought has hit that region of the state but some people wonder whether human use of Abert's only water source made things worse. Under Oregon law, Lake Abert has no legal right to any water at all.
