Abstract

Large-scale dam construction projects have increased due to widespread climate change and increased drought, human population growth and, consequently, increased global demand for energy and water. Without comprehensive research, a large project such as a dam will have many irreversible and unpredictable effects on the environment. A survey on the history of dam construction projects shows that many of them have been designed and exploited regardless of environmental assessment. Therefore, the main cause of various contamination and destruction of many parts of natural resources have been. In this research, the environmental impact assessment of the Isochan dam was identified in two phases of construction and operation on biological, physical-chemical, economic-social, cultural and strategic environments and compared with the use of the ICOLD matrix and rapid impact assessment matrix(RIAM). The results showed that the most negative and negative effects in construction phases and operation in the iCloud matrix and the evaluation of the rapid impact assessment matrix of the physical-chemical environment.
