For much of the late '90s - and likely well into the next century - the battle over dams dominates the political landscape. The focus is on the four dams of the Lower Snake River: Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose and Lower Granite. The Tri-City Herald series "The Snake: Life Without Dams" examines the battlefield from all sides of the issues and tries to answer the question: What would life be like without the dams? In addition to the series, we also are providing background news stories from the pages of the Tri-City Herald.
