Removing Deadly Dams on the Great Miami River | Cincinnati News
Description
Miami’s Great Miami River is set for a life-saving transformation as the Conservancy District moves to dismantle dangerous low dams—nicknamed “drowning machines” for their deadly undertows—thanks to a $2.45 million state boost. One dam alone has already claimed three lives and caused dozens of rescues. With full project costs at $7.66 million, the goal is to restore natural flow, revive fish populations, and make the river safe for recreation again—construction slated to begin between 2027 and 2028.
