So this question is asking, what are some major problems associated with damming rivers? and yeah, there's increase in salinity, evaporation increases, there's changes in the water table, and then there's an increase of sediment buildup.
00:15
So dams are, they're damning rivers, so it's above ground.
00:20
So that's not really going to affect the water table too much, at least not as much as, say, sediment buildup.
00:30
So we're going to keep that as an option, but we're still going to go through the others.
00:36
So then because you are having all this water pool, it does increase evaporation, which is a problem.
00:46
And then when it evaporates, it also increases salinity.
00:50
So right away, those two are crossed off because those are big problems...
