Question

Environmentalists say instead of building on large dam we should build a series of check dams.What’s your opinion ? Present your views with suitable arguments.

Answer 1

Answer:

A dam is a barrier across flowing water that obstructs, directs or retards the flow of water, often creating a reservoir, lake. Dams are constructed for various purposes like hydroelectricity, water storage, monitoring the river course, etc. If we build a large dam it may create problem among the local people because:

1.  Displacement of local people without rehabilitation

2. Loss of livelihood of tribal community

3. Causes serious ecological problems like soil erosion, removal of forest etc.
