Rethinking Large Dams
February 21, 2001
Listen/download helpLarge dams have been built on over seventy percent of rivers around the world, the majority of which are located in three countries: the United States, China, and India. But opposition to these industrial development projects is increasing worldwide, due to social and ecological impacts. On this program, we take a look at movements to end the construction of large dams.
