- EFFECTS OF HYDROELECTRIC DAM CONSTRUCTION ON LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGES IN BUI NATIONAL PARK, GHANA Godfred Bempah Prince Boama Ciencias de la Tierra Climate Settlements Impoundment Nature reserve The construction of hydroelectric dams in forest reserves has become a matter of concern for biodiversity conservationists. Spatio-temporal change of land cover in the Bui National Park was analyzed using indices calculations of the landscape based on land cover maps obtained from Landsat satellite images for pre-and post-dam construction periods. Significant changes in land cover following the dam construction were observed. Notable changes include the built-up areas and water body, while the forest area decreased. Significant reduction in rainfall and an increase in temperature were observed between the pre-and post-dam construction periods. Increased human activities within the reserve after dam construction could likely compound the changes in land cover. 2021 artículo científico 1984-2201 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=273667617018 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617018/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617018/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617018/273667617018.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2736/273667617018/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2736 Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC application/pdf Universidade Federal do Ceará Mercator - Revista de Geografia da UFC (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.20
