Question
Analyse any two adverse effects of the construction of Mega dams.
Solution
The two adverse effects of the construction of the mega dams are:
- Displacement of the People: One of the most adverse aspects of mega dam development is the displacement of individuals who are forced to leave their homes and sources of income and start their lives in other places. Rehabilitation of such a huge number of people is also a difficult work, and people often suffer greatly as a result of their dislocation, both socially and financially.
- Loss of Habitat and Cause of Floods: Large forests will be removed as a result of these mega dams, resulting in the extinction of many creatures and the destruction of biodiversity. Controlling the natural path of rivers, on the other hand, might result in floods that entail enormous loss of lives and resources.
