Respuesta :

Answer:

B. Increased fertility of the land downstream

Explanation:

Dams are constructed across river to prevent water flow they conserve water for human use.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

Answer: Option B.

Increased fertility of the land downstream.

Explanation:

Dam refers to structures built that serve as a barrier for water outflow and retain water. Dams trap sediments,gravels, logs, rock river beds where fishes spawn. It is expensive to construct dams. Dams construction normally lead to extinction of aquatic animals from their habitats and it can lead to flooding. When this occur, there will be nutrient depletion . Aquatic lives can be a source of nutrients and when there is extinction the land will be infertile
