The construction of dams along many major rivers prevents much of the water from traveling into the areas below the dams. As a result, water will occasionally be released from the dam into the river below. This great release of water effectively floods the river below the dam and produces a number of beneficial effects.
The most significant benefit of flooding rivers is the silt that the flooding provides. Silt is nutrient -rich soil that is carried by a river. When a dam is constructed, silt collects in the reservoir behind the dam, depriving the river ecosystem below the dam of the silt's beneficial nutrients. By releasing a large amount of water from the dam, silt stored in the reservoir can be released and make its way into the river below the dam, providing much-needed nutrients for plants and animals that live along and within the river.
Flooding a river also allows the natural geographic features of the river to be restored. Sandbars, or large collections of sand, erode over time. Without a large flow of water to carry new sand down the river and restore them, sandbars eventually disappear. Sandbars provide habitat for a number of creatures that inhabit the river, and by flooding a river, this habitat can be maintained.
Flooding also causes the river to rise beyond its peak level. This helps establish plants along the banks of the river by creating a moist, fertile habitat where new plant life can take hold. This plant life, in turn, stabilizes the bank of the river by preventing erosion and enriches the ecosystem of the river.
The article states that the great amount of water which floods the river below dams are so beneficial for rivers and provides three reasons for this claim. On the other hand, the professor repudiates this hypothesis and avers that unlike what the author mentions in the reading, flooding the rivers with unusaul enormous amount of water not only does not benefit reivers but also destroy them. Hence, he opposes all the three reasons by bringing up some counter arguments.
first, the article asserts that floods will belnefit reivers below dams with invalauble silt. A rich soil with nutrients which stored behind dams. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this point by explaining that rivers below dams does not get slit. He mentions that increased flow of water carrey silt over and remove silt from along the river. Then, this flood not only scatter the silts behind the dams but also they remove the rivers’ silt. He insists that this flood has a significant negative effect on river silt.
Second, the reading material posits that floods allow the geographic featuers of the river to restore themselves. It adds that sandbars where many creature habitat there benfit from those flood. It avers that floods bring many sand down to river and help sandbars in river to be preserved. Controversially, the professor rebuts this notion by explaining that floods can destroy those sandbars. He believes that large amount of water wipe out the sandbars from river and do not allow new sandbars to settle down in the rivers. Again, he asserts that floods hart the rivers.
Third, the author of the reading mentions that rivers rise to beyond its peak level. Plants grow at a nutritous habitat at the rivers’ bank and establish there. They help to preserve the rivers’ bank. Nonetheless, lecturer belives that flood destroy the rivers’ bank. He mentions that unlike what seems at first, in reality the results were opposit. Flood destroied already established banks of rivers, and do not allow new banks to stablish.
