Solution
- The back-water due to storage of water in a dam may submerge villages or towns in that area. This leads to the problems of rehabilitation of the displaced population. Moreover, this can also submerge forests as well as fertile land.
- The obstruction of the flow of river water may have an adverse effect on the living world in the river.
