Answer:

Water energy can destroy aquatic life

Step-by-step explanation:

Any aquatic animals' habitat will be shaped by the flow of water. The construction of dams actually blocks or delays the migration of fishes from freshwater to seawater and the reverse. This may lead to the decline or extinction of the species. . The anadromous or catadromous stocks gets heavily affected due to the habitat loss, alteration, change in water temperature, increased pressure in water which are caused by the construction of dams.
