Dam:

  1. It is a structure constructed across a stream or river to hold back water.

The following are the three prime issues faced because of the large dams:

  1. As it is very expensive to construct a large dam, therefore, it needs many years to become lucrative.
  2. Due to large dams, there is a need to relocate villagers and people residing close to them, and this forcible removal of people is not considered correct ethically.
  3. Due to large dams, a change in the natural surface of the Earth takes place, this may result in extreme consequences afterward, like earthquakes.
