In this pair of images, we can see the difference between a river that flows in a poor country and a river that flows through a rich place.
Developed countries use the water on rivers with modern technology, and for this, they build a lot of reservoirs that have a great impact on environment.
The creation means a menace for the nature. The reservoir’s construction is to collect the water for the irrigation system, but this constructions destroy a lot of wetlands.
This means that the reservoir’s profit entail a lot of enviromental and social problems.

Underdeveloped countries don’t build reservoirs and their nature is less polluted,but their water is more wasted.
