Scientific Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: 10.0, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, language: English, abstract: According to WWF: • Worldwide the total amount of water stored in dams is 3-6 times more than that contained in rivers. • The wetlands area during the 20th century has decreased by over 50%. • Out of the 10,000 recorded freshwater species more than 20% have either become extinct, threatened or endangered in recent times. These facts are enough to justify the tremendous impact on environment dams are having. Large scale projects like dams are often floated as important and necessary means of economic development. But this development comes at some or the other cost. Cost to the environment, development and society. So what are dams really for? • Water supply for the general public for domestic uses as well as irrigation which is imperative for our agrarian Indian society. • Hydroelectric power generation. India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power with 114 Tetra-watt hours. It produces 3.3% of the world total. • Dams impede the turbulent and sudden flow of water to prevent floods. Well that is what they are for and granted many of them achieve the above given purposes but they are subject to widespread criticism and debate. Several vehement national and international movements have brought into light the severe problems associated with them. Dams have been criticized for disturbing natural water flows, affecting deposits of nutrients as well as lifecycles of species that depend on freshwater habitat. Reductions in water quantities can increase salinity and make the water unusable for drinking and irrigation. The transport of sediments that are crucial for natural cycles is also affected. This may cause flood risks, lower groundwater tables and in turn affect entire ecosystems. With that said we must point out that dams do not always have a negative impact on habitats. E.g. once reservoirs become established they can become sites where birds can thrive. There are cases where dam projects have taken up significant compensation for the environmental damage they had caused during their initial phases, but these cases are few and far between. In this report, we take up the issue of impact of dams from three different perspectives which we believe are best suited for such a topic: - Economics, Population and Risks and Hazards. We first present them individually and give a brief analysis of each perspective then we present a comprehensive and thorough conclusion at the end.

Freshwater is our planet's most precious resource — essential for life itself. Despite this fact, many people across our planet face difficulties finding safe, clean, potable water. A U.S. State Department report contends that the world's thirst for water may become a human security crisis by 2040. The World Bank reports many developing nations face catastrophe from intensive irrigation, urbanization, and deteriorating infrastructure. Also, numerous reports contend that in many places un-treated wastewater is still released directly into the environment. This is particularly true in low-income countries, which on average treat less than 10% of their wastewater discharges.In short, we face three imminent challenges regarding freshwater: (1) demands by agriculture, cities, industry, and energy production are increasing; (2) severe pollution from various contaminants and growing withdrawals are limiting the capacity of waterways to dilute contaminants — threatening human and aquatic life; and, (3) climate change will cause periods of frequent and severe droughts — punctuated by acute periods of flooding.The goal of this book is to illuminate how the governance of freshwater is a political, social, economic, cultural, and ecological challenge. The management and provision of water are not merely technical problems whose resolution hinges on hydrological principle, cost, or engineering feasibility. They are products of decisions made by governments, businesses, and interest groups that exercise control over who has access to water, how they use it, and in what condition they receive it. It discusses basic knowledge about water supply and quality; the evolution of water policy in different societies; the importance of water to human and environmental health; the role of law, politics, and markets in its allocation, use, and protection; and, the importance of ethics in its equitable provision.

Viewed by some as symbols of progress and by others as inherently flawed, large dams remain one of the most contentious development issues on Earth. Building on the work of the now defunct World Commission on Dams, Thayer Scudder wades into the debate with unprecedented authority. Employing the Commission's Seven Strategic priorities, Scudder charts the 'middle way' forward by examining the impacts of large dams on ecosystems, societies and political economies. He also analyses the structure of the decision-making process for water resource development and tackles the highly contentious issue of dam-induced resettlement, illuminated by a statistical analysis of 50 cases.
