In very round numbers, the pressure at the surface of the water due to the atmosphere above it

is 14.7 pounds per square inch, or about 100 kPa, and it increases by that amount with each

additional 10 meters of depth. So at the depth of 200 meters, the total is the pressure of the

atmosphere plus 20 times as much additional, or roughly 309 pounds per square inch (2100 kPa).

Notice that it doesn't matter whether you're talking about the bottom of Hoover Dam or the bottom

of a 200-meter soda-straw. The length and width of the pool are irrelevant. The only dimension that

contributes to the pressure is the depth.

Both the dam and barrage are barriers constructed across a river or natural water course for diverting water into a canal mainly for purposes of irrigation, water supply etc. or into a channel or a tunnel for generation of power.

In case of a barrage, its entire length across the river i.e. between the banks is provided with gates having their bottom sill near the river bed level. Thus, the storage behind the barrage is solely created by the height of the gates.

The dam on the other hand has spillway gates almost near its top level and the storage behind the dam is mainly due to the height of concrete structure and partially due to the gate height.

In both the cases, however, the number and size of gates is adequate to pass the design flood during monsoons.

The Advantages of building Dams is that it controls the water running through a specific river. Building the Dam will stop the river flooding and destroying people's living areas.

Not only does it provide protection from certain areas, it also provides H.E.P (Hydro-Electric Power) which gives millions of people cheap electricity.

But the problem with Dams is that they are extremely expensive to build and maintain. It would take several decades to make a profit out of it.

The 3 Gorges Dam is an example of a Dam and so is the Hoover Dam!

(Case Study) By Lewis Ian Latham from Knowsley Park CFL.

The 3 Gorges Dam is the largest of its kind in Asia and located on the Yangzte River. The power created from this dam supplies China one tenth of their requirements which is a great deal as it is more than 3x larger than the UK alone. The people protected from this dam have risen over the years to above 2 million civilians, the power is clean which helps ecosystems, wildlife and air purity (a big problem in China)

However.... Over 2 million civilians were therefore displaced and had to move many miles to relocate mainly travelling to Chongqing. Both land slides and Earthquakes have been triggered from this dam as the water fluctuates over 30m annually so the flow can be maintained to protect the rural area. The weight from the dam puts pressure on the ground below and continues on to trigger earthquakes throughout the local areas. Behind every dam ever created can be found a resevoir, the one located behind the 3 Gorges is VERY LONG and DEEP. Over 100 Heritage Sites were lost and 13 Cities, 140 towns, 1300 villages, 1500 factories and 100,000 acres of land were submerged by the resevoir....

The Hoover Dam provides a supply of water for many cities, including Los Angeles, San Diego and Phoenix. It is used to generate Hydrolectric Power (HEP) which relases no pollutants. Obviously, the Dam is used to prevent flooding in the seven states in which it runs through. It is also used for irrigation.
