{answer}

Describe how hydroelectric power plants will impact wetlands and farmland below the dam.

A dam and reservoir can also change natural water temperatures, water chemistry, river flow characteristics, and silt loads. All of these changes can affect the ecology and the physical characteristics of the river. These changes may have negative effects on native plants and on animals in and around the river.

I hope it will help you
