Artificial lake,aerial photograph. This reservoir,in Petit-Saut,French Guyana,was created by the installation of the Barrage de Petit-Saut,a dam used to provide hydroelectric power. When this region was flooded,as a result of the dam stemming the water flow,it created a series of manmade islands. These are being monitored by ecologists as examples of biotopes,geographically defined environments where specific plants and animals live together in ecological communities | |
