Abstract
Dams have been constructed around the world to provide benefits like hydroelectric power, flood control, and water storage. However, dams also fragment river habitats and disrupt natural flow regimes. This impacts river ecosystems and migratory fish species that rely on upstream and downstream passage. This project examines the environmental impacts of dams, with a focus on how they affect migratory fish populations. Case studies of specific dams and river basins are analyzed to understand how dams impact fish migration and breeding. Mitigation strategies are also explored, such as fish ladders, bypass channels, and dam removals. The goal of this research is to raise awareness of the ecological consequences of dams and identify opportunities for environmental stewardship.
