The two correct answers regarding the possible negative effects of building a hydropower dam are:
1. **displacement of people living near the proposed dam** - Building a dam often requires flooding land, which can lead to the displacement of communities and residents.
2. **lower river water levels in other areas** - Dams can alter the natural flow of rivers, leading to decreased water levels downstream, which can affect ecosystems, agriculture, and water availability for other communities.
