We take a look at some of the world's largest dams, and a massive new hydro project proposed for BC

Program Title: Terra Informa - Season 8, Episode 43 - Hydroelectric Dams
Description: This week we're dedicating the entire show to a look at dams. They allow us to irrigate farmland and produce electricity, but they can also flood vast areas, alter wildlife migration, and force entire cities to relocate. We investigate the impacts, both positive and negative, of some of the biggest dams ever built. Then we take an in-depth look at the controversial Site C dam that's planned for northern BC. Representatives from BC Hydro, the Wilderness Committee, and Citizens United to Save the Peace all weigh in on the project. And as always, we start things off with your wrap up of the week's top news headlines.

Host(s): Rebekah Rooney
Featured Speakers/Guests: Gwen Barlee - Policy Director for the Wilderness Committee; Dave Conway - BC Hydro's Community Relations Manager for the Site C project Melody Blaney - Spokesperson for Citizens United to Save the Peace (CUSP)
