Numerous developing countries have large-scale irrigation dams on their political agendas, with the goal of improving local food production and strengthening food security. Various multilateral financial agencies and countries have backed new irrigation projects around the world. These projects, on the other hand, rarely include a thorough sustainability assessment that considers not only economic variables but also potential environmental and social repercussions as well as mitigation methods. Dams and reservoirs do, in fact, give an economic and social advantage that greatly aids in the management of water, which is rapidly becoming a scarce resource.Aside from that, these dams and reservoirs could have negative environmental and socioeconomic consequences. The displacement of indigenous people is the most difficult social impact of dams. This is one of the most serious consequences of the dam building on communities, individuals, and entire families who have been forced to abandon their homes and relocate. As a result, extensive and precise assessments of the socio-economic repercussions are likely to become more in demand.
