Water diversion in Belo Monte threatens Indigenous peoples, wildlife

Listen to the story. The Belo Monte hydroelectric dam stands in the Xingu River in Altamira, Para state, Brazil, Friday, Sept. 6, 2019.  Credit: Share Norte Energia, operator of the Belo Monte Dam on the Xingu River in the eastern Amazon rainforest, has begun diverting about 85% of the river s water to the dam s turbines in order to boost electricity production. Scientists say the resulting drop in water levels will disrupt flood-dependent ecosystems and adversely affect the Indigenous peoples along the river.  Brazil has built more than 200 large hydroelectric dams as a way to produce energy for a growing economy, and Norte Energia s Belo Monte Dam has been one of the most controversial. Aside from its effect on local people and wildlife that rely on the river s natural rise and fall, flooding behind dams can add to climate change by killing trees and other vegetation, which decompose and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
