Socioeconomic issues: Recreation
An overview
"The commission concludes that the creation of the reservoir will provide recreational opportunities of a significantly lower quality than the ones that will be lost. The reservoir can serve as an important recreational resource in the region, but cannot adequately substitute for the river that will be lost."
