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

When a river runs over alternating layers of hard and soft rock‚ rapids and waterfalls may form Waterfalls A waterfall is a place where water flows over a vertical drop in the course of a stream or river. Landforms in upland regions are dominantly created by erosion processes‚ where land is worn away. Generally‚ the volume and discharge of rivers in upland regions tends to be low‚ and the river uses much of it’s energy in overcoming friction

In Egypt the Nile River is one their biggest source of water. The Aswan High Dam is in Egypt and sits on the Nile River. The Dam has helped control the Nile‚ which would flood every year in late summer. The construction of the Aswan High Dam started in 1960. As the Dam was built it created Lake Nasser. This Lake has

Small Hydropower Project (The Project) is Run off River (RoR) type with its headworks located in Tinekhu River at some 3 km upstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River and Tinekhu River. The distance to the intake site from Singati Bazaar is about 6 km north-east. The powerhouse is located along the left bank of Tamakoshi River‚ some 100 m upstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River with Tinekhu River. There is a bridge over Tamakoshi River near powerhouse and a seasonal road up to the forebay

a LEDC meaning it’s a less economical developed country. The rivers leading from the Himalayas flow into the sea‚ when they suffer with heavy rain the excess water starts to over flow and flood and waterlog land and surroundings. The physical causes are‚ the monsoon climate brings very heavy rain and snow‚ and soils are leached and heavy runoff results in soil erosion‚ snow melting results in soil erosion and a rapid increase in river discharge. Moreover some more reasons are because deforestation

The map below shows the location of Bangladesh and shows the two rivers; the Brahmaputra and the river Ganges running through Bangladesh. In July and august 2007 both Bangladesh and India suffered from severe flooding. Flooding in Bangladesh is a frequent event‚ with it often inundating between 20 and 30% of the country and causing

located on the confluences of the river Ganges and Brahmaputra these are two very large rivers which meet in Bangladesh. Causes: The Bangladesh flood is a result of both physical and human factors because: Topography: Bangladesh has a low height above sea level which is approximately 2-8m. This means that as the sea level rises more water will be closer to the surface and its 140 million people live mainly on the flood plains of the river Ganges‚ Brahmaputra and Meghna
