The case studies offer the first integrated look at dams from the perspective of all interest groups and in terms of their foreseen and unforeseen impacts, be it from the point of view of government agencies, local economists, the riparian habitat, or impacts on the diets of indigenous peoples.

For each selected dam a study team and a group of stakeholders examined six questions:

What were the projected versus actual benefits, costs and impacts of the dam?
What were the unexpected benefits, costs and impacts?
What was the distribution of costs and benefits – who gained and who lost?
How were decisions made?
Did the project comply with the criteria and guidelines of the day?
What were the lessons learned?
