A new ‘State of the World’s Rivers’ database shows how the world’s rivers have been impoverished by dams and their ecosystems devastated – and provides a valuable resource to help save river basins that remain in good health. International Rivers has launched ‘The State of the World’s Rivers’, an interactive online database that illustrates the role that dams have played in impoverishing the health of the world’s river basins.
