A “Dam Disgrace”
Increasing public awareness of the pros and cons of large dams has thrust the issue to a prominent position in the global debate on sustainable development. ...
“More than 800,000 dams have been built all around the world and more than 45,000 of these dams can be categorised as ‘large’; with a structure higher than 15 metres above the natural river bed” (Geographical August 1999).
Large dams are a sensitive subject and the need for rigorous investigation prompted the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and the World Bank to establish a World Commission on Dams in 1998 (Geographical August 1999).
