The construction of the dams are likely to submerge the forest area due to high speed water currents that are required to generate the electric currents.

Explanation:

  • The forest covers are removed and clear up for the purpose of dam also the dam water may submerge a large region of the forest.
  • This is likely to affect the carbon cycle of the environment. As the forests are the biggest carbon sinks.
  • The forests absorb the carbon dioxide for the purpose of photosynthesis.
  • In the absence of trees the abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increase.
