Qn.7) Dams have a negative effect on aquatic ecosystems. Fish, such as salmon that
depend on their ability to move from the ocean upstream for spawning, suffer when dams
block their path to their breeding grounds. Scientific studies on the Klamath River indicate
the positive benefits removing dams along the river include restoration of endangered
salmon and the improvement in trout habitat. The positive benefits of dam removal outweigh
the negative impacts of leaving them in place. When rich floodplains no longer receive their
annual deposits of silt from floods, they become less fertile. Dams that hold back floodwaters
and then open floodgates also increase erosion downstream due to the surge of water.

ADVANTAGES:

1. Once a dam is constructed, electricity can be produced at a constant rate.

2. If electricity is not needed, the sluice gates can be shut, stopping electricity generation.
The water can be saved for use another time when electricity demand is high.
3. Dams are designed to last many decades and so can contribute to the generation of
electricity for many years / decades.
4. The lake that forms behind the dam can be used for water sports and leisure / pleasure
activities. Often large dams become tourist attractions in their own right.
5. The lake's water can be used for irrigation purposes.

DISADVANATGES:

1. Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very

high standard.
2. The high cost of dam construction means that they must operate for
many decades to become proftable.
3. The flooding of large areas of land means that the natural
environment is destroyed.

4. People living in villages and towns that are in the valley to be

flooded, must move out. This means that they lose their farms and
businesses. In some countries, people are forcibly removed so that
hydro-power schemes can go ahead.
5. The building of large dams can cause serious geological damage. For
example, the building of the Hoover Dam in the USA triggered a number
of earth quakes and has depressed the earths surface at its location.
