The effects that dams on the Yakima River and other rivers in Washington have had on the state’s environment include:
1. **They block migratory fish from swimming upstream.**
2. **They change natural habitats.**
3. **They cause streams and rivers to flow at lower levels.**
The other options, such as helping migratory fish swim upstream or improving natural habitats, are generally not accurate in the context of dams, as they typically disrupt natural migration patterns and alter ecosystems negatively. Dams do not typically widen downstream areas but may have other impacts on river morphology.
