Dams and the Environment

---

We need dams and the benefits of their storage lakes, which accumulate water in periods of abundance and supply it in times of scarcity.

Dams help control devastating floods and catastrophic droughts. They can regulate, and adapt to the demand, the natural flows that vary according to seasons and climatic vagaries

Dams create favorable conditions for leisure, tourism, fishing and fish breeding. In some instances dams provide enhanced environmental protection.
