Some of the problems associated with the construction of dams are:
a) Social problems: It makes many people homeless, by submerging large areas of human- settlements, thereby causing a social issue.
b) Environmental problems: It causes deforestation and loss of biodiversity by submerging large varieties of plants and animals. This creates an ecological imbalance.
c) Economic problems: This is an issue raised by many people who consider that the construction of dams needs a large amount of public money and there are no proportionate benefits.
