They will probably be paid to move away from the site in order for the company who's going to build the dam to put it up

It is China

A dam is considered to be a more sophisticaled barrier than a barrage. A dam is a barrier of concrete built accross a river to create a body of water for a hydroelectric power station or a reservoir of water and is of greater capacity than a barrage. A barrage is an obstruction in a watercourse to increase the depth of water to facilitate irrigation

It's very difficult to answer questions like this because of the way the US power grid works. Power producing sites put power on the grid, and power consuming sites take power off the grid, and it's not really possible to track exactly what goes where. Think of it this way: the power grid is a big barrel full of water. Las Vegas has a pipe coming out of the barrel, and Hoover Dam has a pipe going into the barrel, but there are many other pipes coming out and going in. Finding out if a particular drop of water flowing through the Las Vegas pipe came from the Hoover Dam pipe would be difficult. The power grid is actually worse than that, because we could theoretically put some dye in the water, but we can't do that with power; an electron is an electron is an electron. That said: Las Vegas actually does not get much of its power from Hoover Dam, since the electric company serving Las Vegas is NV Energy, which owns its own power plants and does not operate the generators at Hoover Dam. NVE's own website states that 70% of their power generation for southern Nevada comes from natural gas fired plants, so at most 30% of Las Vegas' power would come from Hoover Dam (and most likely much less than that). Also, the US Bureau of Reclamation (the agency that operates the generators at the dam) does not list Las Vegas as a recipient of the power generated. They do list the State of Nevada in general (which gets about 23% of the power generated by the dam), but the only specific city in Nevada that's listed is Boulder City, NV.

The cost to build a seaport can vary significantly based on factors such as location, size, design, and the infrastructure required. On average, the costs can range from hundreds of millions to several billion dollars. For example, constructing a small regional port might cost around $100 million, while large international ports can exceed $1 billion. Additionally, ongoing operational and maintenance expenses must also be considered in the overall investment.

Grand Coulee Dam is named for the Grand Coulee, an ancient dry riverbed along the Columbia River. It is actually a glacially-eroded watercourse from vast and sudden prehistoric floods of water and ice, which flowed west from the extinct Lake Mizzoula in Montana, beginning about 18000 years ago.

The lake behind the dam was named Franklin Delano Roosevelt Lake (FDR Lake) for the US President who approved its construction.

due to a very wet winter the water level in lake mead rose to flood level, the camp grounds and launching ramps where all under water. this took place in 1983

1. generates hydroelectricity to power cities near the Colorado river such as Lake Havasu City.

2. Provides more water to homes for drinking and cooking with.

3. It prevents flooding in nearby cities

Natural dams are made of earth, or more rarely wood and silt (e.g. beavers). Manmade dams may consist of packed earth, or stone, or concrete.

Reservoirs held behind dams affect many ecological aspects of a river. Rivers topography and dynamics depend on a wide range of flows whilst rivers below dams often experience long periods of very stable flow conditions or saw tooth flow patterns caused by releases followed by no releases. Water releases from a reservoir including that exiting a turbine usually contains very little suspended sediment, and this in turn can lead to scouring of river beds and loss of riverbanks; for example, the daily cyclic flow variation caused by the Glen Canyon Dam was a contributor to sand bar erosion. Older dams often lack a fish ladder, which keeps many fish from moving up stream to their natural breeding grounds, causing failure of breeding cycles or blocking of migration paths. Even the presence of a fish ladder does not always prevent a reduction in fish reaching the spawning grounds upstream. In some areas, young fish ("smolt") are transported downstream by barge during parts of the year. Turbine and power-plant designs that have a lower impact upon aquatic life are an active area of research. A large dam can cause the loss of entire ecospheres, including endangered and undiscovered species in the area, and the replacement of the original environment by a new inland lake. Large reservoirs formed behind dams have been indicated in the contribution of seismic activity, due to changes in water load and/or the height of the water table.

In big dams (like hoover or grand coulee), when the water flows through, it spins these huge magnets that creates static electricity in massive amounts that is then sent to a sub station to be processed from there.

first you get some water then you pour it! first you get some water then you pour it! first you get some water then you pour it! first you get some water then you pour it!

the habitats of the animals around it will be destroyed and the fishes may also lose their habitats due to flooding

Dams are put in place to hold back water. This is generally used to create a water reservoir, but can also sometimes be used as a form of flood control. Hydroelectric dams, like the Hoover Dam, hold back water to create water pressure, to push turbines that generate electricity. In the case of the Hoover Dam, which holds 9.2 trillion gallons of water, extremely massive amounts of water pressure are obtained, and the 17 turbines combined make 2.8GW of power, which is about as much as 3 nuclear power plants.

There are several. Gravitational potential energy is transformed into linear kinetic energy, which is then transformed into rotational kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.
