About this document
Managing Dam Environmental Impacts by aulia is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dams have significant environmental impacts on rivers. They alter downstream flow regimes, reducing flood peaks and increasing low flows. This disrupts natural flooding patterns. Dams also change water temperature patterns by releasing cold water from deep reservoirs, affecting ecosystems. Sediment transport is interrupted, causing erosion or sedimentation downstream. These flow, temperature, and sediment changes disrupt natural river processes and ecosystems.
