The effects of the Kinzua dam still plays a powerful toll on the people today. The history shared with Kinzua Dam exemplifies the significance of land to indigenous people. It is important to acknowledge the ancestral land so that the newer generations have knowledge on those who stood before them and they know where they originated
The creation of Dams helped in stopping the more dangerous sediment from hurting the flow of the water. Sediment became one of the main problems with the construction of dams within the Yuma project. Which can clog waterways that can give filtered drinking water as well as harming the wildlife within the water. It can also cause for the water to be dirty and as well as affect the cost of filtered water by increasing it. Another positive that the Yuma Project made was that it had offered to give hydroelectric power which better powered all of Yuma.
Advantages/Disadvantage of the Arapaho Tribe Geographical Location As early as the 1600’s, different civilizations have experienced hardships because of geographical location. The Arapaho Tribe endured numerous situations which resulted in, sometimes problems unwanted. Despite some disadvantages at hand their distinctive gut of wanting to explore more parts of the world made them an effective defender. As a result of their high placements in the mountains, it had resulted in a well defensive play. With a well defensive home comes difficult decisions to make based on weather, food, and weaponry.
In the best interest of politics and economics for the city, the downtown and north areas of San Antonio was chosen for the dam to protect. Although the dam prevented heavy flooding later in the years, the dam could also be considered a failure due to its high maintenance costs. The dam was built with faults that needed more care and attention to from the beginning. Char Miller emphasizes the Flood of 1921 would have been “a perfect ‘opportunity for bettering the lives and sanitary conditions of the Mexican population.’ (217)”
The projected restored the natural habitat of the river and opened it up to its original course from the Olympic Mountains to the Strait of Juan de Fuca. When Mountain in the Clouds was written, the removal of a huge dam that’s been around for years seemed impossible. Even the author, Bruce Brown, said “I can’t say I thought I’d live to see the day” which goes to show how radical the idea was when he wrote it so many years ago. The fact that his book brought about the removal of the Elwha dam is a significant thing and is important to the future of conservation. Mountain in the Clouds showed clearly the problems that are occurring and opens peoples eyes to
Continuing this project, we would be letting all the wildlife in that environment just die off. Some people may be thinking there's not that much wildlife that would be dying. They would be incorrect. There could be millions of birds dying just because we built a dam that destroyed their habitat so that we could use more water.
With having low flow in the Dam it affected the Colorado River, other rivers, canals and dams too. But whenever we did have floodings the cost was very high to try and building and fixing it back up. For example, in the spring/summer of 1905, an insane flood hit the lower part of the river as a flash flood. This flood ended up changing the flow of the water uncontrollable and ended up leading into the Imperial Valley. This river connects with the Colorado River as well, and now flows into Southern California 100 yards north of the US Mexico border.
The environmental groups who filed lawsuits to stop and dismantle dams are right about keeping any further destruction of the environment but the key point is to use hydropower where its not doing anything to harm the environment or the animal in and outside of the rivers. Still keeping the environment clean from destruction by buildings and other facility is the one priority but hydropower is the only renewable energy that doesn’t need wind to make energy or sun. So the U.S should just be careful where the hydropower dams are being
The major impact is the cost to rebuild things effected by nature. Rebulding homes can be used as one example. As the community knows, storms of any kind just come and go. The major storms though, cause quiete a comosion. They destroy houses, building, anything they lay their eyes on.
One of the most significant impacts has been the displacement of Native American communities. In many cases, these communities were forced to relocate to make way for the construction of dams. This relocation disrupted traditional ways of life, including hunting and fishing practices, which are often closely tied to cultural and spiritual practices. For example, the construction of
The Native Amazonians hunt, fish, and grow crops on small plots. When a field is no longer fertile, they clear a new one and leave the old one to be covered by the forest. They live there, work there, They do everything
Displacing the tribes food therefore displaces the tribes resources and sources of economic stability; basic human rights. Furthermore, this threat causes a shift in power between tribes. Moreover, the dam has provided power and an incentive to bring more modern
Natural resources are important for survival, without them people wouldn’t live. In Honduras natural resources are being wasted or not taken care of, for example trees are burned very often. “Natural resources are very important to all communities throughout the world. In fact, without natural resources, we couldn’t survive!
The colonization of Indigenous peoples has dramatically affected their health, and health-seeking behaviours, in a myriad of ways. The Indian Act of 1876 was, in essence, created to control the Indigenous population. The Indian Act laid out laws and regulations that tightly regulated the lives of natives economically, ideologically, and politically. This included a wealth of ways in which their identities were stripped away, and in which they were taken advantage of by the Government of Canada. This has resulted in a reduced quality of life for Canada 's indigenous population, as well as adverse health problems, and prejudicial perceptions that we still see the impact of today.
To put it simply, commons is defined as “land and resources belonging to or affecting the whole of a community” (Oxford Dictionary, 2018). The two key characteristics of a commons is that it is hard to exclude others from using it and it is subtractable, meaning it has finite quantity and declines through use/over time (Thorn, 2018). These characteristics can be related not directly to the dams but to the rivers they dam. For example, the Elwha River as shown in the film. Historically, the river was of great importance to the native Elwha tribe due to the fact salmon were an important part of their lifestyle and the river was an essential part of their spiritual heritage (Gowan et al., 2006).
