Ap Human Geography Chapter 2 Essay
15. Dams may cause increases in water sourced illnesses like typhus, typhoid fever, malaria and cholera.
16. Dams affect the social, cultural and economical structure of the region considerably.
Especially forcing people, whose settlement areas and lands remain? under water to migrate, affect their psychology negatively.
Numerous other effects can be added to this list. The most important point that must be considered here is to distinguish the temporary harms from the long term and irreversible harms clearly. It is compulsory that the groups consisting of biology, engineers, hydrologists, social scientists and other profession groups attend the environmental impact assessment studies and that the alternatives do their duty in the …show more content…
In other words, over transfer of food and the increase in salt density can raise water lichens and may change water living species.
8. The species may change parallel to the erosion caused by the human activities or the permanent increase in the water turbidity as an outcome of the dam construction.
9. Discharge of toxic matters (pesticides, toxic metals etc.) and their condensation in food chain may affect sensitive animals immediately; all living organisms may expire when the stream becomes unable to recover itself.
10. The water regime may change as a result of destruction of nature, unexpected floods may occur and consequently vegetation and natural structures in the riverbanks can be damaged.
11. Some increase in earthquakes may occur because of filling of big dam reservoirs.
12. Rise in evaporation loses may be expected as a result of the increase in the water surface area.
13. Microclimatic and even some regional climate changes may be observed related to the changes in air moisture percentage, air temperature, air movements in big scale and the changes in the region topography caused by the stagnant, big scaled mass of
