River

Downstream of dams, marked changes in fish populations occur as a consequence of blockage of migration routes, disconnection of the river and floodplain, and changes in flow regime, physiochemical conditions, primary production and channel morphology(McCartney, 2009, pg. 128). Due to the changes in the fish population caused by dams, the 1996 International Union for Conservation of…

and of course, it holds up its name proudly. No one really knows who came up with the name first, but it surely does fit our feelings for the town. Growing up in Tillamook, I start to notice more and more of the horrifying damage the rain water and rivers do to our town. According to the Tillamook County Department of Community Development, "DO NOT ENTER FLOOD WATER!" flood…

The dam we are planning to build will not only help the environment it will slow down global warming and grow more crops for human consumption. This dam can also be used for irrigation purposes like growing crops for humans and animals alike. You can also use this water as clean drinking water. The salmon population will maintain similar to what was before because ninety-seven percent still survive. It will slow down global warming by not having us burn coal for energy creating greenhouse gases…

California’s San Joaquin River was a source of life. It helped provide food for thousands and was a home for many, but the Bureau of Reclamation took it all away when they ordered the construction of the Friant Dam. The Dam wasn’t created to destroy life, but to give life. It helped southern Californians get the water they needed by diverting the river into an aqueduct and sending it south. But what many didn’t predict was the mass die off of many fish that once lived in the San Joaquin. The…

the Brim River, which separates Palean from Lithos, was a huge barrier to take woven baskets to other places. It is not clear whether this observation is based on either how the river is in these day or how the river used to be. One might wonder if the river was less deep and dangerous in the past due to in other ages the whether could benefit the native to cross the river without using boats. Extreme cold or highest degrees of hot weather could allow Palean people to go over the river. In the…

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…

such as the nutria (Cavendish). The main characteristic of a beaver’s habitat is its dam. A dam allows the beaver to control the direction of water flow in a river or stream. In the spring, beavers build their dams out of logs, branches, and mud, across various waterways (Cavendish). To construct the dam, they first make a ridge across the river and then add rocks…

stopped in November of 2009. The dam would have affected major transport including the Bruce Highway. Residents who lived near the proposed area were not happy with the proposal. The wider community had concerns related to the endangered Mary River Cod, Mary River Turtle, Giant Barred Frog, Cascade Tree Frog, the vulnerable Lungfish, Tusked Frog, Honey Blue-Eye Fish. There were also concerns for the dugong. 2. There are many positives and negatives from the Traveston dam proposal. These…

less spiky is maturity. Thirdly, old age is when the base level is worn down that has eroded and the valleys bottom become more board. Additionally, to running water, streams happen to alter due to climate such as if the climate goes drier, the rivers will shrink in…

waterways and for transportation purposes, but is the destruction of the rivers and surrounding land worth it? Many of these dams do more harm than good to the rivers, and hundreds of dams in the United States are no longer even in use. Not only are they damaging the rivers, but these unused dams are also no longer providing any benefits for rivers or for human use. These unused dams should be removed and return the rivers to their natural state. Along the water ways the U.S Army Corps has…
