Dams have significant effects on rivers and streams, altering natural flow patterns, sediment transport, and aquatic habitats. They can disrupt ecosystems, block fish migration, and change water temperature and quality. While some dams are designed for specific purposes like flood control or hydroelectric power, their environmental impact is often considerable and can lead to long-term ecological changes. Thus, their effects are far from limited; they can profoundly reshape river systems and surrounding environments.
