Dams and hydropower projects can have impacts on:

Dams and hydropower projects can have impacts on river flow, fish migration, sedimentation, and other aspects of the environment.

• River flow: Dams can alter the natural flow of a river, which can have a number of impacts on the river ecosystem. For example, dams can reduce the amount of water available for downstream users, such as farmers and fish populations. Dams can also change the timing of flooding and droughts, which can disrupt the lives of people and animals that depend on the river.
• Fish migration: Dams can block fish from migrating upstream to spawn or downstream to feed.
