Unraveling the Impact: How Dams Alter Downstream River Flow in Earth Science
Water BodiesDams: How We’re Changing the Rivers Downstream (and Why It Matters) We’ve been building dams for ages, haven’t we? These massive structures provide water, prevent floods, generate power, and irrigate our crops. They’re engineering marvels, no doubt. But here’s the thing: they also dramatically change the rivers downstream, and not always for the better. It’s
