I believe PROS:

· Dams can store rain water or water directly from the river itself. Then, in case of a Drought, the dam will still have a relatively constant supply of water.

· Producing Power.

o Controls flooding & provides recreational activities such as boating fishing and swimming, if the lake is not being used for drinking water (Dam Society).

o Simple design makes for inexpensive repairs and maintenance costs (Dam Society).

o Produce inexpensive (after completion) and clean power.

o Renewable energy source, because the water is not destroyed by passing through the dam.

o If needed, dams can be shut down instantly, where thermal plants take hours, and nuclear plants can take days! (Dam Society).

o Very few breakdowns.

CONS:

· Hydroelectric power production require flooding of entire valleys and scenic areas.

· Disrupts natural seasonal changes in he river, and ecosystems can be destroyed.

· Ends flooding that help to clean out the silt in rivers, causing them to clog (Energy Laboratory).

· The silt that usually flows down to the Beaches and Estuaries is block by the dam.

· Studies show that the plant decay caused downstream of major dams produces as many greenhouse gasses as more conventional methods of producing electricity.

· Dams are expensive to build, and due to drought may become useless, or produce much less power than originally planned.

· A dam being build in Quebec will end up flooding an area as large as Switzerland (Energy Laboratory).

· Dams can break in a massive flash flood.

Rangers do some Special Operations missions, but the jobs of Special Forces and Rangers are different, Rangers are Elite Light Infantry, while Special Forces go behind enemy lines and train fighters to assist in taking down a common enemy/opposing force.

How many people are in a us army special ops unit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Special ops unit" is a very fluid term, and special ops is a broad category.. on top of the actual units of operators themselves, there's also things such as Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations battalions, military intelligence units, etc. A "special ops unit" could be anything from a Special Forces A-team divided into two groups of six, all the way up to an entire Ranger Regiment of three line battalions.

Can you be in the Army Reserve and be a Ranger at the same time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you earned your Ranger tab on active duty prior to joining the Army Reserve, you will still continue to be Ranger qualified. If you are simply serving in the US Army Reserve and intent to be sent to Ranger school from your Reserve unit, your chances are slim to none, and you would be better off to join the National Guard and try to get into a Special Forces unit of the National Guard. If you are looking to serve in a Ranger unit of the US Army Reserve, then this will be impossible, as there are no such units in the Army Reserve. The US Army Reserve is composed of training and support units, with all combat arms relegated to the Regular Army and Army National Guard. The one exception to this is the 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment, which is an infantry battalion of the US Army Reserve, which is composed of reservists from Hawaii, American Samoa, Saipan, and Guam.

Can you become an army sniper with a GED?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A few months ago, there was a recruiter who posted on this site regularly. According to him, the Army was actual overstrength, and wasn't accepting GEDs at the time - you had to possess at least a high school diploma. That may or may not have changed since then - you'll have to talk to a recruiter to find out. If they're accepting recruits with GEDs again, you'll have as much opportunity to become a sniper as someone with a diploma. However, you don't enlist as a sniper - you'd enlist as... typically an infantryman or cavalry scout... and then you have to prove to your chain of command that it's worth it for them to send you to the sniper course. There's more to it than just being a good shot.

What has more action the marines or the Army?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on what the future holds, and also what you do. Both services deploy frequently... rotations might be more commonplace in the Marines, as it has a much smaller force to draw from. Both forces have units which deploy regularly, and they both have units which don't deploy at all. If your purpose of enlisting is simply looking for "action", you may want to reconsider it.... after three tours as a Combat Medic in the Army, I can tell you firsthand your eagerness for "action" will wane very quickly.

What are the advantage of being old?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The only one I can think of jobwise would be that possibly you may have let yourself become out of date on technology. However, if you have kept up, the advantages of an older employee out weigh anyone else--reliability, experience, ability to adapt and so on.

Can you enlist in the army rangers without serving in the army?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No... doesn't it seem a bit of a redundant question? The Rangers are an element of the Army... to serve in an Army unit, you have to be in the Army. Don't really see any other way to go about it. If you're just interested in the school, you can go through it without being in the Army... but you'd still have to be serving in some branch of the military.

How many kills did Billy Bishop record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bishop was officially credited with 72. This puts him third on the overall list behind Germany's Richthofen (80) and France's Fonck (75). Bishop was thus the second highest scoring Allied ace, and the highest in the British Empire and Commonwealth. He was a Canadian. Udet of Germany was fourth overall, with 62. Of these four, all but Richthofen survived the war.

-an advantage of a light sensor is that energy is being saved by the lights in whatever situation because they will only turn on when light is sensed.

-a disadvantage is that most sensors need an interface to convert analogue signals into the digital signals that a computer can understand.
