This dam is in Egypt, it was built in 1970 and has reduced the flow of water into the river. The Aswan High Dam provides hydroelectricity for Egypt which is a very important asset to survive. However, the Aswan High Damn traps the nutrient-rich silt, which once fertilized the ancient Egyptian farmlands. This stops Egypt from creating more crops which stops trade. The dam has also trapped fish and many other important marine life for the Nile River. Therefore, the Aswan High Dam is a major environmental issue in Egypt.
