Question

With the construction of dams, a few villages are flooded,
what are the difficulties faced by the people there? What
steps should we take to support them?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Problems due to construction of big dams are as follows-

a) Environmental problem- One of the major consequence of dam construction is deforestation leading to loss of biodiversity. This ultimately is responsible for disturbing the stability of the natural ecosystem. To deal with this problem, more and more trees should be planted.  

b) Social problem- Construction of dams may cause the flooding of nearby towns and villages. A huge population becomes homeless due to this. Proper compensation to the affected people should be given by the government.  

c) Economic problem- The construction of dams requires a huge amount of money. It becomes profitable only when electricity production starts.
