the overflow of rivers will cause houses to be washed away, kill humans and most dams have been designed to protect humans for 50-75 years, there are over 10,000 dams in America and many are weak

When a river is dammed, valuable freshwater habitats, such as waterfalls, rapids and prime fish runs are lost. The impact on fish and other aquatic organisms is obvious, but the ecological ramifications go beyond the river. Wildilfe that depends on the water or on food chains involving aquatic organisms is also adversely affected.
Constructing dams have both merits and demerits. If merits are more, then the consruction should take place

Earthmovers services include projects like constructing dams,roads,railway tracks etc.
They often obstruct or limit the use of the waterway.
No. The influence of buildings and damns in this aspect is quite small. Earthquakes are the result of rock moving along faults.
Advantage of a gravity dam is that every section will be stable and reliable. An Earth dam can overflow and collapse because of erosion.
Advantages of dams:1. Dams are constructed based only on safety2. It is used to store water3. It used in hydroelectric power generation4. It is used in irrigation purposes.Disadvantages of dams:1. Requires skilled labour to construct2. Strong abutments is needed.
An advantage is that you get to play basketball A disadvantage is that it might take so much time an time but trust me its worth it
One of the disadvantages of using water or hydroelectric power is that is gives off a good deal of carbon dioxide as well as methane. Other disadvantages of hydro power are the cost to install the dams and turbines, and the fact that they destroy the habitat around the installations.
The availability of suitable sites for large dams and reservoirs, and in some areas the amount of rainfall
Archaeological and historical records show that from ancient times we have been constructing sophisticated hydraulic structures like dams built of stone rubble, reservoirs or lakes, embankments and canals for irrigation.
