Environmental Problems The poisoning of the world’s land‚ air‚ and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilisation. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars‚ earthquakes and floods‚ but it is potentially one of history’s greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades‚ our planet will become uninhabitable. Overpopulation‚ pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation‚ ozone depletion

to increase fertile land in one area‚ they must divert needed resources from another area • altering natural waterways which can increase the risk of flooding • Interfering with the natural fire cycles of an area (one cause of increased bushfire problems in Australia) • overuse of natural resources‚ resulting in depletion of some of these resources • climate change and the development of extreme weather conditions: scientists continue to debate how much humans actually contribute to climate change

The Effect of Dams on Reservoir Sedimentation and Environmental Flow A dam is a barrier‚ obstruction or blockade built for the sole purpose of storing water. There are many uses for these systems‚ including its combination with hydropower‚ and the re-distribution of the deposited water. The benefits of the dam are very valuable to everyday life. They provide flood control‚ water supply‚ fishing hydroelectric power‚ recreation and more. But just as we figure out how to improve energy efficiency
