Thursday
• LT: I can explain positive and negative impacts of building a dam.

Discuss Belo Monte Dam Video1. What are the Kayapo people fighting for?2. At 5:00 minutes, the photographer talks about what
the women of Kenjab do everyday to survive (fishing, going to get water, etc.). How might the Belo Monte Dam change that?
3. At about 7:30, how high will the water be once it is dammed?
4. What will happen to the rainforest when it is under water?
5. Just after 8:30, what will happen to villages downstream from Belo Monte?
6. At 11:30, they explain WHY Brazil wants to build these 60 dams. Why?

A dam is a structure built to control water
through placement of a blockage of earth, rock and/or concrete across
a stream or river.

Draw a Dam DiagramYour assignment for today is
to draw a diagram that shows all of the impacts a dam will have on the environment – upstream and downstream.

Draw a Dam Diagram• Water level – Because the
normal flow of water is blocked, the reservoir fills up (floods) and the river has less water than before
![Page 15: Thursday LT: I can explain positive and negative impacts of building a dam](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649da25503460f94a8f56f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Draw a Dam Diagram• Water temperature – because
the reservoir is so much deeper than the normal river, the water is much colder in the reservoir which hurts plants and animals that live there

Draw a Dam Diagram• Sediment (dirt) – Normally
carried downstream by the river but is blocked by the dam. There is a lot more (too much) dirt in the reservoir and not enough dirt in the river.

Draw a Dam Diagram• Fish – Dams block the
migration (movement) of fish) and entire species can be separated from each other. Below the dam, low water levels can also kill fish.

Draw a Dam Diagram• People – People lose their
land to the canals, roads, etc. Additionally, like the Kayapo, their way of life will have to change if the river and fish population are changed. Many people have to move.
