Why does costruction of dams displace people |
|
Answer» Explanation:Population displacement CAUSED by dam construction is the most serious counter-development social consequence of water resources development. Displacement in water resources development occurs as a result of three categories of dams, irrigation dams, hydro POWER dams and dams and RESERVOIRS for potable water supplies (multipurpose dams combine two or all three functions), by adversely affecting people whose lands or house, or both, are submerged (in full or in part), or people whose place of employment DISAPPEARS. For EXAMPLE, in Indonesia the dams recently built at Saguling, Kedung Ombo and Cirata have dislocated some 65 000, 30 000 and 57 000 people, respectively. In China the Gezhouba Dam displaced more than 20 000 and the Dienjangkou dam over 383 000 people. In Brazil, the Sobradinho and the Itaparica reservoirs dislocated 65 000 and 40 000 people, respectively. In the building of the Three Gorges Dam in China over a million people will be relocated.Hope this was helpful mark me as brainleist |
