environment
modify
climate

Explanation:

The context is about human - actions on the land for farming and building dams. The word "modify" makes the most sense as it means to make changes to something. "Environment" is a noun and doesn't fit grammatically here, and "climate" is also a noun and not relevant in this verb - slot context.

Answer:

modify
