Describe at least one example of the environmental cost of water diversion from rivers to farms or cities?
Several consequences of river diversion for irrigation are:
- downstream river discharge is reduced
- the evaporation in the overall irrigation region is increased
- the groundwater recharge in the region is increased
- the level of the water table rises
- the drainage flow is increased
Just in the first category, reduced downstream river discharge, effects can include reduced flooding, disappearance of wetlands and flood forests, reduced availability of potable water, reduced shipping routes, and reduced fishing opportunities.
