The social and ecological impact of large dams in Brazil cannot easily be mitigated by procedures developed in other countries. Fish ladders for instance are very often inappropriate for the indigenous fish and other solutions have been adapted which have maintained or even enhanced the fishstocks. Major afforestation schemes are also needed for most projects, and a change in farming techniques is strongly recommended to keep reservoirs free from pollution and silt.
