All of the following are NEGATIVE effects caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam except __________.

Question

A.
fewer chemical fertilizers are used
B.
thousands of families have been forced to relocate
C.
the Nile River Delta ecosystem has been damaged
D.
silt is no longer carried down river

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. fewer chemical fertilizers are used.

This statement does not represent a negative effect of the Aswan High Dam; in fact, the dam has led to an increase in the use of chemical fertilizers due to the reduction of natural silt from the Nile, which traditionally replenished soil nutrients in the delta region.
