In such cases, it is always good to state both the sides of the story and then conclude with your own views. Also talk of the NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) syndrome, that is while the dam will benefit a lot of people, it will surely harm people in the immediate vicinity of the dam.

In the end, conclude with your own views. You could also propose something on your own - say something like that while dams are extremely necessary, maybe smaller dams would be better since they are not ecologically dangerous and also fulfill the other requirements.
