it fertilized the land surrounding it. so it allowed local farmers to produce crops there that were of a better yield and frankly better.
Pros: The Akosombo Dam provides hydroelectric power, which is a renewable and clean energy source. It contributes to Ghana's energy security and can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
Cons: Building the dam flooded a large area of land, leading to displacement of communities and loss of biodiversity. The dam can also impact downstream water flow and cause environmental changes.
Explorers often face danger, isolation, and uncertainty, which are significant cons. However, they also have the opportunity to discover new lands, cultures, and resources, which can be exciting and rewarding.
Pros of the Columbian Exchange: facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures between the Old World and the New World, leading to increased diversity and innovation. Cons: introduced diseases to indigenous populations, caused environmental disruptions, and led to exploitation and conflict between European colonizers and native peoples.
The first dam in India, the Kallanai Dam, was built across the Kaveri River in Tamil Nadu by the Chola king Karikala in the 2nd century CE.
Some of the cons of the Age of Exploration include colonization and exploitation of native populations, spread of diseases, destruction of indigenous cultures, and the introduction of slavery to the Americas.
The Aswan Dam has provided Egypt with a stable water supply, increased agricultural productivity through irrigation, controlled flooding, and facilitated hydroelectric power generation. Additionally, it has helped in the regulation of the Nile River's flow, ensuring consistent water availability for domestic, industrial, and agricultural purposes.
Akosombo Dam was created in 1965.

The akosombo dam has many advantages such as the fact that the people who live in Ghana have learnt many life skills from the dam such as fishing, carpenting and canoe building. Also the akosombo dam has brought a health service in for the workers and free transport to and from work. On the economic sie of things the akosombo dam has brought in a transport route. There is now 2500 new jobs for the locals and also due to where the dam is situated is has allowed there to be a port for tomatoes and other procude to be available. There is a lot of more fertile soil for the agricultural side of Ghana and a wider diversity of plants!
The Akosombo dam produces H.E.P (Hydro Electric Power). It does so by the water coming from the reservoir (Lake Volta) goes into the dam which spins a turbine as it goes through, this then spins a generator. The generator has a stator and a rotor. The turbine spins the rotor which is a magnet and around the edge is the stator. The stator contains a metal (usually copper) which spins 1000's of times a minute creating Hydro Electricity.
