The problem, those neighbors say, is that the order requires them to drain dam reservoirs, used to generate power in the spring and summer.

The water impounded by a landslide dam may create a dam reservoir (lake) that may last from short times to several thousand years.

Those that fall into the dam reservoir may lead to further catastrophic spillages.

A large cave located in the dam reservoir was home to 15-20,000 bats, making it the second largest such colony in the country.

The construction of the dam reservoir, which has a perimeter of 400 km, has turned it into a place of interest.

Syria and Iraq demanded more water to be released, while Turkey declined so as to form the dam reservoirs.

By far the greatest environmental threat is the proposal to develop an experimental dam reservoir to store millions of tons of acid-generating waste rock.

The water supply included a dam, reservoir and 23-mile pipeline and was completed on May 23, 1904.

World Wide Fund for Nature are questioning the need to clearfell an area three times larger than the size of the dam reservoir.

Afforestation around the catchment area of dam reservoir will help to create another new wildlife sanctuary here in future and recreate lost wild elephant corridor.
