lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this report because we must improve water storage methods and reduce the construction of huge dams worldwide. Approximately 40-80 million people have been forced to leave their homes during the construction of huge dams. Dams change rivers and the use of natural resources and have a major impact on biological diversity and river ecosystems and, above all, pose a threat to communities. On every continent, dams threaten people or the ecosystem. One real example is in Brazil, where a licence has been granted to construct the world’s third largest dam, although its construction will do incalculable damage to the Amazon’s ecosystem and biodiversity. Around 50 000 people will also be forced to leave their homes. It is necessary to reduce dam building because, according to current estimates, by 2050, there will be a major risk of floods, endangering around 2 billion people. Furthermore, dam reservoirs pose a serious threat to the environment due to greenhouse gas emissions."@en1
