different species. Today however, as cause from human development, there has been a major negative impact on the health of these cherished waterways. A large number of rivers and streams have lost prized game fish such as salmon and steelhead because of dams.

Floods in Klamath County Subject to three major types of flooding, Klamath County is moderately susceptible to this hazard. One such type of flooding, riverine flooding, occurs when a body of water exceeds its capacity and it overflows its banks. Communities in close proximity to natural waterways, such as Beatty, Chiloquin, and Sprague River, are most susceptible to this type of flooding. A specific type of river flooding, shallow area flooding, can also occur in Klamath County. This type of…

Despite the obvious benefits of a dam, op-ed contributor Yvon Chouinard and magazine contributor Bruce Barcott feel differently; they want dams to not exist. Chouinard’s Text 1 is a persuasive paper, making use of cold-hard facts and allusions to the fearsome global warming and America’s beloved economy, in order to convince us that dams are bad in all perspectives. Barcott’s Text 2 takes a different path…

Both climate change and human-induced changes, such as overfishing, pollution, dam construction, environmental degradation and land reclamation, are factors leading to changes in fish resources. Overfishing leads to the depletion of high-trophic level species, and has an impact on other species by altering the food chain. It has also…

The Banqiao Dam Failure, 1975 The Banqiao Dam was built on the Ru River as a means to prevent future flooding of the Huai River Basin in the Zhumadian Prefecture of Henan Province in central China, which had been severely flooded in 1950. Construction of the dam was started in 1951 and was completed the following year. The slightly smaller Shimantan Dam on the Hong River, and many other smaller dams situated within this river system, were built for the same project. By 1954, both the Banqiao…

In the world, there are many things that humans do to harm the environment, but one we may not think of is dams. Dams cause a devastating amount of damage that people don’t recognize because they create “green energy”. Dams block the natural flow of rivers, in turn causing problems with vegetation dying, fish migration, and the buildup of toxins. These problems cause unnecessary harm the surrounding ecosystem and sometimes unrepairable damage to the earth, which appeal to the moral principles of…
