Yes I support on building a dam as it can help by stoping floods

Yes i support building a dam as it can control flooding which can save multiple lives and can help with the water supply during dry and wet seasons

# data[].attributes.body
No , I do not support building a dam as it is very dangerous and there is a very high chance that it might collapse.

Yes I support building a dam as it can withstand dangerous flooding and save houses

I support building a dam as it MAY help in a flood and though it sometimes collapses, it still helps most of the time. I am also sure I can afford it since I am a “politician” and I am sure that they earn quite a bit monthly for their salary. I would also rather have to spend money than to lose lives in a flood since lives are priceless.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not support building a dam because dams cost a lot of money and can cause dam failure that will kill many people.

# data[].attributes.body
As it might not be strong enough and collapse and kill not onlya lot of people but also very rare animals which live at Mekong river and besides dams are very pricey and it will probably cost 1 million per year to clean it and that’s not even considering the cost to build it . We would also have to relocate people.Although it would reduce chances of floods it is not worth it.

i don’t support building a dam because it can be very expensive and might burst, killing many people.

I will not support building a dam as they are very

Very expensive ,they take up a lot of space and

Sometimes lots of people may get killed by them if

It collapses.

I don’t support building dams because if it breaks it can kill a lot of people and it also costs a lot.

Dams are expensive.They require regular and expensive maintainence work. You have to build a dam to extremely high safety standards to avoid catastrophe. People also have to relocate where they are living.

Why building the dam is a bad idea

it would cost too much

it would damage the environment

it would trap the fishes

it would change the animal habitat

it could endanger the animals relying on the floods

it might collapse and kill people

It would stop the river flow

it might overflow

It would stop the river from feeding South China Sea

dam energy can be replaced by wind or solar power

The chances of it being harmless is very slim

Even though building a dam may control flooding, I do not support in building it as :

-it may collapse and kill people and wild animals

it is very expensive and I don’t think it’s worth it

-it traps the fishes living in rivers

- it destroys animal habitats

relocate and live somewhere else-the places where dams are built are near peoples homes and the construction the dams forces people to live somewhere else

- when dam failure occurs, endangered species of animals may get killed

I do not support building the dam because if I build the dam,the dam might break an many ppl may die.However,if I do not build the dam,nothing bad would happen other than floods and flooding would be less bad

Building a dam cost money and it may not work

As when we build a dam, the dam cost money and if it breaks and give way, it would claim alot of lives.

Building a dam cost a lot of money and it mat not work

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not support building a dam as they are very costly and has to pass strict dam requirements. Dams will help with causing less floods but dam failure will cause many lives to be taken away.

# data[].attributes.body
We should build a dam so it would be easier to throw the waste materials into the sea

# data[].attributes.body
I first thought that building a dam was a good idea but now I don’t think we should build a dam because people can lose lives and a lot of people will have to be relocated. Floods won’t happen everyday so I don’t think it is worth it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not support building dams as they are very expensive and may collapse at any time there is a very heavy rain and floods, causing everybody months to clean up. It may also collapse on innocent people and that may cause their or result in serious injuries. Many peoples home may also have to be relocated just because of one flood! That is why I do not encourage building dams.

Actually I am a bit skeptical about the dams being built or not. If dams are built then many people from nearby the area will have to move. Resulting in a lot of trouble and financial problems as when I demolish their houses to build the dams, I would also have to spend more money to build houses for them.And if it If I do not
