  Why has the building of dams provoked so much protest, not only in Australia, but around the world? Examine some controversial dams that some believe have solved problems; but others say have left a trail of environmental destruction. Why does the myth persist that humans can tame wild rivers? Or even that humans have the right to do so? What are the consequences of big dams at a time of climate crisis? T: From: 2 Aug 2018, 6:00PM
