Part 7/9:
Siligson points out that transparency regarding the dam's construction and environmental impact is complex. Since satellite imagery clearly shows the dam’s development, the question of honesty and disclosure becomes central. Environmental advocates worry about the dam's ecological footprint, including its effects on biodiversity and downstream water access. The area where the dam is located receives heavy rainfall, which naturally influences river flow and water management. However, the dam's capacity to regulate water release could alter downstream ecosystems and water availability, raising ongoing debates about its environmental sustainability.
