I think that has more to do with the diversion of water for irrigation. For example, the almost-total vanishing of the Aral Sea.

That's also an issue, but I'm talking about projects like Rogun Dam in Tajikistan, which received strong objections from Uzbekistan.

There's also the Shuren Dam project which may damage ecosystem of Baikal.
