Answers
-regulating and damming of rivers affect their natural flow, causing poor sediment flow which results in rockier stream beds and poorer habitat for aquatic life.
-dams fragment rivers, making it difficult for aquatic fauna to migrate, especially for breeding/spawning.
-the reservoirs created on floodplains also submerge the existing vegetation leading to its decomposition over time.
-multipurpose projects have been the cause of many social movements like the 'narmada bachao andolan' and 'tehri dam andolan'. resistance to these projects is mainly because of large-scale displacement of local and tribal communities.
-local people often had to give up their land, livelihood and meagre control over resources during building of these dams for the greater good of the nation with no proper benefit for themselves.
