Abstract : The dam is one of the oldest human engineering type in human history. Inte?grating various advanced modern science and technology in the construction, the dams built many barriers in river basins and have played an important role in flood control, power generation, water supply, irrigation and so on. But controversy about the dam is relentless since the birth of this type of engineering. The dam is one of the most controversial engineering type in the 20th century, and its ecological impact is one of the core issues in the dam-related controversy. This paper ana?lyzed the development skeleton of ecological controversial of the dam engineering, then analyzed the basic features of ecological disputes about the dam engineering and explained its internal reasons. Last but not least, it proposed several sugges?tions about how to view the ecological controversy of dam engineering objectively and rationally, which includes looking upon the rationality of ecological controversy of the dam correctly, setting up the ecological view which is in accordance with the ecological civilization in the engineering construction, and building the domestic engineering ethics benefiting for the ecological protection.
