They often flood and drown the trees because it is so flat there, also killing wildlife and fish The reduced water flow downstream disturbs riverbeds and affects floodplain farmers who rely on seasonal floods for nutrients to enrich the soil and kill pests. therefore they turn to pesticides and artificial fertilizers which have their own negative environmental effects.
