What's happened to our rivers, a critical circulation system for Earth, climate, and life as we have known it on planet Earth? The impoundment (permanent damming) of Earth's major river systems has severly reduced historically available nutrient flows for all marine and human food-webs and has weakened the planet's thermohaline (e.g. AMOC) currents which play a crucial role in regulating our climate. This is forcing additional, significant heat pollution into the atmosphere, contributing to climate warming.
