| #5 Diverting water, decreasing downstream flow, ya say? Check out the Colorado River. Mexico gets but a wee trickle of a mighty river. |

| #4 Guess which country will have a decreased water supply... Ummm, neither actually, dams only raise the available head to use with turbines, they do not stop the flow. Using the water in irrigation will lessen the downstream flow slightly, but again it does not stop flow. It would be very hard to divert the complete flow of the river being dammed, it can be done, witness the Rio Grande, but not often. |
