In efforts to generate cleaner and more environmentally
friendly energy, China has been constructing multiple dams on its rivers.
While China believes this will limit pollution, control floods, and minimize
climate change, scientists beg to differ. These environmentalists argue that
the dams are blocking the free flow of rivers, and destroying the ecology.
However, China continues to build an excessive amount of dams despite protests
from environmentalists, and these dams could lead to higher risks of
earthquakes due to the dam’s flow through the geologically unstable region off the
Tibetan Plateau.
