  <abstract>Determines and assesses the ecological, sociological, &amp; environmental impacts that result from the damming and diversion of the Couva river in central Trinidad.  Alteration of the natural drainage system; loss of wetlands and feeding grounds for fish are cited as some of the ecological impacts.  The destruction of mangroves and loss of shellfich trade; the accumulation of untreated wastes in the lake and the blocking of the Carli bay access road create sociological impacts.  Makes recommendations for the environmental management of Carli bay.</abstract>
