The concern over Big Dams is not some thing new. Various research work performed throughout the world to study the cumulative effects of hydrological alterations due to construction of massive dams (viz water diversion, exploitation of groundwater aquifers, stream channelization, and interbasin water transfer, etc ) has shown a lot more adverse effects than the bright side. In truth many studies have proven big dams and river diversions to be primary destroyers of aquatic habitat, contributing substantially to the extinction of species, as well as the overall loss of the ecosystem services on which the human economy depends. The fact that earthquakes might be induced by dam and that globally, you will find over 100 identified instances of earthquakes that scientists believe had been triggered by dams-reservoirs doesn't assist too. When at 1 end our Government is busy citing examples of China’s proud Three-Gorges Dam, the exact same people are overlooking China’s 7.9-magnitude Sichuan earthquake in May 2008, which killed an estimated 80,000 people. This earthquake is reported to be caused as a result of Reservoir-Induced Seismicity (the phenomenon of earthquake due to dams) of the Zipingpu Dam. The environmental problems for instance sedimentation, change in flooding pattern, etc associated with Big Dams is worth mentioning. A short study of various huge dams constructed across the world particularly the third world countries proves this well. For example, just before the Aswan High Dam, the Nile River carried about 124 million tons of sediment to the sea every year, depositing nearly 10 million tons on the floodplain and delta. Today, 98% of that sediment remains behind the dam. The result has been a drop in soil productivity and depth, among other serious changes to Egypt’s floodplain agriculture. This single example is sufficient to shut mouths of people making a mockery of KMSS as to why the farmer’s organization is raising concerns over the massive dams.
