Answer:
Explanation:
Big flood people out of their homes and off their lands; wipe out endangered habitats and species; spread water-borne diseases; deprive flood plains of the water and sediments of life-giving floods; ruin beautiful landscapes and submerge places of great cultural or spiritual importance. And that’s just a partial charge sheet.
Big dams even cause earthquakes, release greenhouse gases, destroy marine fish and lead to coastal erosion. In the world’s worst dam disaster – a mega-catastrophe that struck central China in 1975 when two large dams burst – as many as 230,000 people died.
