Which are the plants that are adversely affected through the destruction of River ? |
Agriculture was adversely affected through the destruction of rivers. Construction of large dams and physical alterations of river flow by straightening and deepening of river courses. This disrupts the natural flooding cycles, reduces flows, drains wetlands, cuts rivers off from their floodplains, and inundates riparian habitats, resulting in the destruction of species, the intensification of floods and a threat to livelihoods in the long term. |
