If you really wanna get mad, look up Lake Keowee + Duke Energy. It was a historical Cherokee town with burial grounds and artifacts, and Duke Energy dammed around it and turned it into a lake in the 70s to provide cooling for electrical needs.

Even worse, don't look up the Aral Sea in west-central Asia. Used to be one of the largest seas, but was completely decimated by Soviet irrigation projects in the mid 1900s. It's almost completely dead and gone now...
