They should extract it and use it to make the next set of replacement rectifiers.
To be accurate - you *couldn't* have the selenium leaching problem.
How the water is used doesn't itself make the use of a dam wrong for power generation in any way.
If it's the one I'm thinking of - covered by the UK's excellent Open University TV broadcasts

p.s. the Russians created a great ecological disaster by using irrigation to produce cotton in the area of the Aral sea. In that case the fertilisers - insecticides etc ran off into the inland sea and basically killed it. The wind now also blows about toxin laden dust too causing all manner of health problems in the area.

It's not a problem, it's an opportunity. See my other post.

Wavelength matters for the enormously long lines in Canada and Russia (and China?). But for shorter lines, it's capacitance that causes problems, even for overhead transmission at 60 Hz.
With a currency exchange in the cupboard under the stairs?
I didn't mean to rain on your parade at all Watson. Altho the project referenced is without doubt an engineering marvel, environmentalists are more & more in opposition to dams. I don't think I'm telling anyone something they don't know. As new evidence accumulates I guess there may be some changes for the future, but who knows.
When it comes to the shirt on my back I've noticed more & more lately that things like that seem to be coming out of China, India & other 3rd World places. You gotta wonder where our children & theirs will be working in future. Not everyone wants to sling burgers at MacDonalds.
My 2 cents, anyway. John Stewart

We ship raw materials back, in return for the finished goods from those countries. And one of those raw materials is cotton from California.

Most cattle ranches are highly automated and don't require many people to run them. I guess they're still called cowboys, yes? Or ranchers? Whatever.
Cotton planted & picked by low cost immigrant labor from Mexico. Then processed offshore. Profits made by large landholders & water users. Where is the real benefit for the ordinary American? JLS

It makes jobs for Border Patrol officers. :-P

No. Americans are extraordinary.
They call them "cattle feeders" and the ranches are called "feedlots."
