How much did the Grand Coulee Dam cost?
The eventual cost of the Grand Coulee Dam was about 300 million dollars. It still remains the largest concrete structure ever built.
What will happen if a dam is built?
if a dam is built it will block the water from over flowing and ruining thesurroundings!!!!!!!!!!h iI'mnew so if anyone whats to talk go ahead!!!!!!!!!!
What other energy sources could replace the use of petroleum?
There aren't many energy sources that can replace petroleum. Petroleum - gasoline and natural gas - is both energy-rich _and_ easily portable; very few energy sources meet both criteria. In most applications, you would need to combine two or more power sources to replace the petroleum. Electrical: In order to be portable, you'll need to store the electricity. Batteries are heavy and not particularly efficient. Charging the battery can take considerable time, and the batteries themselves can undergo a finite number of recharge cycles before they need to be replaced, and batteries can be expensive. The electric energy used to recharge the battery has to come from someplace, and that's generally a power plant that uses hydroelectric, nuclear, coal, oil, or natural gas. Wind: Wind power isn't constant, and varies too much over the course of a day. We can't use wind power for vehicles, although sailing ships using solely wind power crossed the oceans for hundreds of years. Nuclear: Nuclear power plants are massive. They're "portable" in ships, but not in land vehicles. Nuclear powered ships can sail for a couple of years before needing to be refuelled. Hydroelectric; Hydro-electric power is generated by using running water to spin turbines to generate electricity. At its simplest, this can be something as simple as a water wheel, but to generate substantial amounts of energy, we'll need a large volume of water falling quite a distance. That means a high dam, with lots of water behind it. That's not at all portable, of course, but it's generally pretty reliable and constant. The flooded valley behind the dam can have its own costs; however, the water storage, flood control and recreational resource aspects make hydroelectric dams an attractive option. Solar: Solar power works as long as the Sun is shining. You'll need batteries (see above) for night time or periods of bad weather. Alcohol-based fuels; We can convert plant matter into alcohol and use the alcohol as our portable fuel. However, alcohol contains less energy (fewer BTUs per gallon) than gasoline, and the plant materials aren't easily fermented to produce alcohol. In current alcohol production, it takes gasoline and natural gas to make the alcohol, so we often get less energy from the alcohol than we spent in fossil fuels to make it. Also, current alcohol production is almost totally dependent on corn, so we're using food to create fuel. The price of corn has recently risen high enough that some people are struggling to afford the food that we're turning into alcohol. And if we devote acreage to grow some other plant, we're decreasing the amount of edible crops we can grow. It's sometimes an uncomfortable tradeoff.
Where is the world's greatest engineering marvel?
While there doesn't seem to be a consensus as to THE greatest, some of the greatest are The Millau Viaduct in France, the Venice Tide Barrier Project in Venice, the Three Gorges Dam in China, the National Stadium in China, Palm Island in Dubai, the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland, the Channel Tunnel between England & France, the Bailong Elevator in China and the New Valley Project in Egypt.
What does it cost to build a hydroelectric dam?

How much does it cost to buy a hydroelectric dam?
From less than $ 100,000 (for a tiny one) to many billions for a truly big one.
What tools are needed to make hydroelectric power?
Normally, hydroelectric power requires a dam and a turbine. It is possible to use a water mill instead of a dam.
Is wolf creek dam a hydroelectric plant?
Yes, The Wolf Creek Dam is a Hydroelectric dam.
Why did people built the Hoover Dam?
To make hydroelectric energy.
What is a source of hydroelectric power?
A hydroelectric river dam like, Three Gorges Dam.
What makes a hydroelectric dam efficient?
a hydroelectric dam is efficient because it generates power
Was the first hydroelectric power plant was built at Hoover Dam?
No, the first hydroelectric power plant was not built at Hoover Dam. The first commercial hydroelectric power plant was established in 1882 at Appleton, Wisconsin. Hoover Dam, which was completed in 1936, is one of the largest and most famous hydroelectric facilities, but it came much later in the development of hydroelectric power.
Is the Hoover Dam a hydroelectric dam?
Yes.
How do you make a model of the itaipu dam?
Itaipu dam is a hydroelectric generating facility for Paraguay and Brazil. The model of the dam is clearly sketched on the map.
