Welcome A Presentation on DAMS

Dams are the main source of water resource, power and food in a region. Hence it has some impacts on environment. Why are Dams chosen?

Ecological aspects Glen Canyon Dam Sand Bar Erosion Fish Ladder Reduction in Breeding Reduction in fish number Turbine & Power plant designs Lower impact on Life Active Research Large Dams Loss of Ecospheres Loss of endangered & undiscovered species Replacement by a new Inland Lake

Global Warming Change in Water level Increase in temperature by accumulation of CH 4 Heritage Sites and Monuments Submerged in Water Loss of income to Country Loss of Flora and Fauna Endangered Animals Medicinal Plants Evacuation of People Loss of Own lands No equal replacement Overcrowding

* Time for construction * Cost * Unfit for Living * Requires maintenance * Can Fail Catastrophically * Geological effect * Water Supply –reduced to the country Leading to Problems with neighbours. * Large Dam Disturbs natural water table * Mosquito Breeding * Agricultural Lands * Mental fear * Earthquake Prone * Loss of Minerals * Degradation of Water

i) Alternate Resources could be used other than hydroelectric power ii) Minimizing the use of hydroelectric power. What measure could we take as a remedy?
