Question
How are dams responsible for causing floods?
✓
Answer
Ironically, the dams that were constructed to control floods have triggered floods due to sedimentation in the reservoir. Moreover, the big dams have mostly been unsuccessful in controlling floods at the time of excessive rainfall. The release of water from dams during heavy rains aggravated the flood situation.
