Dams In the United States and China Wiki

US and China Dams Topic and Background
Dams of the western United States and China cause problems with the marine ecosystems around them. Fish, mussels, and other aquatic organisms are negatively affected by these structures (Dean, Gillete, Howard, Sherraden, and Tiemann, 2002, p. 8). Some large dams are causing droughts downstream, which is lowering water levels and lowering electricity output (Hvistendahl, 2008 para. 20). In particular, the Three Gorges Dam is lowering the water level by 50 percent in central and eastern China (Hvistendahl, 2008, para. 20). In the western United States, there are many large dams in the Snake River that have endangered Chinook salmon and may be contributing to droughts (Hasling, Moore, 2008, p. 338).
