Abstract:
The current context of the construction of dams in Brazil shows several controversies, mainly lined up with the existing contradiction between the official speech focused on the benefits resulting from such enterprises and the important, serious and irreversible socio environmental impacts caused by the construction of dams, which are attested by the experience of those people who pass through such transformations. In this sense, the present article proposes to analyze and discuss the interfaces between economic development, environment and health in the context of the construction of dams in Brazil.
