The article states that dams are a beneficial and effective way to generate electricity and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that dams present many drawbacks and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the author claims that dams help to improve the local environment. In contrast, the professor states that dams make the environment suffer. When they are built, water must be diverted. As a result, fish that migrate through the area often lose their way and die. Also, when the dam is finished and the water’s path is restored, it moves more slowly. This hurts fish that need fast moving water to lay their eggs.
Second, the reading asserts that dams release no harmful pollutants during operation. The lecture refutes this point by stating that dams create artificial lakes and that these lakes flood the area around the dam. The plants in the flooded land, therefore, die. This eliminates plants that remove the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, from the air. Also, as these plants decay, they release methane, which is another greenhouse gas.
Third, the author explains that dams create no financial burden for communities. The professor counters this by explaining that the enormous artificial lakes dams create flood the local area, so residents who are affected by this flooding must be relocated. This is not cheap. This, in addition to the cost of construction, makes dams so expensive that they require local tax dollars as aid in order to be built.
