Dams as a technology cannot be ignored. They continue to provide much needed services—water,
electricity, agriculture, and flood management. However, one should also be keenly aware of the
associated social and environmental impacts that need to be addressed. It is hoped that this e-paper,
which is available on the Internet and compact disc, will assist you in making constructive
and informed choices in planning and implementing dam projects and their alternatives.
