What is one advantage of dam and reservoir systems? Dams and reservoirs disrupt migration of some fish. Dams and reservoirs can displace people behind the dam Dams and reservoirs lead to devastating flooding if there is a failure. Dams and reservoirs decrease downstream flooding. Dams and reservoirs reduce nutrients released downstream.
