Explanation

Building dams for electricity can change the timing and flow of rivers, disrupting fish breeding habits. Reservoirs and areas of still water behind dams can also provide breeding sites for mosquitoes. Dams are used for flood control, so the activity that fits all three effects is construction of dams to produce electricity.
