520 _a"The world's 45,000 large dams--which block over half of the world's rivers--have been failed experiments. They have failed to produce as much electricity and water, or control as much flood damage, as their backers claim....Their effects on ecosystems have been disastrous." (ECOLOGIST) The author discusses the World Commission on Dams' (WCD) report on the development of dams and examines why activists are fighting to eliminate dams altogether.
