The construction of the dams upstream of the Indus have affected the growth of the mangrove at the delta by reducing the water level. The dams are also putting in jeopardy the Indus river dolphin.
bhaneka and lavera
tarbala dam , warsak dam ,and mangala dam
Both dams are on the Indus River. This is not so... Mangla Dam is on the Jhelum and Tarbela, only, is on the Indus. My father helped build Mangla Dam and I lived there for 6 yrs in the 1960s
Yangtze River in China has three Gorge Dams built. It is to keep the floods down and to keep the cities safe.
about fifty
They built dams.
The dams and barrages often have to be built across quite a long channel and this can be expensiveThe dams and barrages sometimes interfere with fish movements or shipping.Places suitable for tidal power are sometimes far away from the electricity grid. Connecting wires over long distances loses an amount of power.Holding back the tide allows silt to build up on the river bed, thus reducing the water flow over a number of years.
There are many river dams, many are built to create hydro power.
By building dams - for example, the construction of the Aswan Dam in the 1960's meant that from 1970 the annual flood was controlled.
The Colorado River/Colorado River Basin has more than twenty major dams in the river system. However, the Columbia River System has more than four-hundred dams for hydroelectricity and such.
