Dams are an example of hard engineering. They trap water in the reservoirs behind them, allowing water to be released slowly to avoid flooding. They typically serve other purposes too, including water and electricity supply, and recreation. However they can be controversial. They are very expensive and the area flooded for the reservoir usually destroys habitats and peoples’ homes. Another issue is the dam doesn’t just trap water, sediment also builds up behind the dam which reduces the capacity of the reservoir over time.
