3. These benefits were not includ… Hydropower is usually termed as one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. Dams have a great deal of positive and negative effects on the environment. Dams have a huge role to play in such treatments.
The creation of a reservoir provides a habitat for wetland species, especially water birds. IMPACTS OF DAMS ON RIVERS. H‰TP»nÄ ìùŠ-¥ |¹Îrs—ÂEŠ�ô,Rh�ÿ}€³î”ĞÌì,³ËOı¹÷.ÿ L`�7„KXI#\prdÆé´£zëYEàÙ. Studies have shown that flooding in dams submerges existing vegetation which over time decays and produces methane gas which is classified to be among the most detrimental greenhouse gasses. Positive impacts related to Catchment: For the clearance of the environment, many treatments of the catchment area have been carried out. Dams and reservoirs are synonymous with hydropower production. THE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF DAMS ON THE ENVIRONMENT While preparing the water resources projects, it is important to make clear what the environmental impacts of the project may be when it is executed.
The reservoir can also be a source of water to animals and plants in the adjoining areas and, where such areas have become unnaturally dry, this can be a significant environmental benefit. Positive Effects of Dams: The positive effects of dams have been mentioned as follows. These are; 1. The environ-mental impacts of the dams have been written down below in numerical order.
Dams alter aquatic ecology and river hydrology upstream and downstream, affecting water quality, quantity and breeding grounds (Helland-Hansen et al., 1995).They create novel and artificial types of aquatic environment for the life span of the dam. However, dams and their reservoirs have been linked to global warming.
