Consequences of Dam Failure

Impact: Uncontrolled release of water downstream, leading to widespread flooding.

Impact: Destruction of infrastructure, homes, and properties located downstream of the dam.

Impact: Potential loss of human lives due to flooding and the destructive force of released water.

Impact: Disruption to ecosystems, loss of habitats, vanishing fresh water sources (well, pond etc.) and contamination of water bodies.

Impact: Damage to roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure in the flood zone.

Impact: Costly recovery efforts, insurance claims, and economic losses for affected communities.

Impact: Displacement of communities, requiring long-term resettlement and reconstruction efforts.

Impact: Investigations, legal actions, and potential regulatory changes to prevent future failures.
