Multipurpose projects and large dams have come under scrutiny and opposition because of the following reasons:

  • Large dams affect the natural flow of rivers. This results in hampering the flow of sediments. Excessive accumulation of sediments in the reservoirs causes damage to the marine life.
  • The dams on the flood plains submerge the vegetation and soil leading to its gradual decomposition.
  • It further results in floods due to the deposition of sediments in the reservoirs.
  • It causes destruction of the forest areas and the displacement of tribal and local communities.
  • The construction of big dams destroys the natural surroundings and biodiversity of an area.
  • If large dams are constructed at the place where tectonic plates meet, it can induce earthquakes.
