Dams

Three of the four largest dams in the Western United States are in South Dakota. The South Dakota dams are Fort Peck, Fort Randall, and Oahe. The fourth is the Oroville Dam in California.

the importance of dams in our country is to stop the flow of water,generate hydroelectricity and does help for the diversion of water. these are of different types

such as timber dams ,masonry dams etc . different dams perform different functions and roles .

Can be to provide a reservoir of water for industry and domestic use, or to provide water for a hydropower scheme, or to provide water for irrigation.

A dam works by the movemoent of water when the water is full the dam will the let all of the water out and it repeats over and over again

Improved Answer:-

A dam works by blocking the flow of the river by storing water, which forms a resorvior up stream from the dam. as water continues to flow from the river up stream from the dam.

There are 11 dams which currently impound water and/or produce hydroelectric power on the Missouri River. These are: Canyon Ferry, Holter, Black Eagle, Rainbow, Ryan, and Fort Peck Dams in Montana; Garrison Dam in North Dakota; Oahe, Big Bend, Fort Randall, and Gavins Point Dams in South Dakota.

The main countries affected by the Atatürk Dam are Syria and Iraq since they are along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.

....the ataturk dam was built by a turkish president named......turgut ozal! the main reason why the dam was built was because the president wanted the water to be saved for his future country and also to generate more eleticity and irrigate the plains on turkey. the dam is still up today and in my opinion iu beleive that the president should of never built the dam he should of just let the water flow because no the countries bordering turkey are in trouble because they have no major water supply because of the dam that was built in turkey!

koyna dam 100 TMC capacity is a wrong answer. the correct answer is UJANI DAM on bhima river capacity is 117 tmc. 2 nd is Jayakwadi project on GODAVARI RIVER capacity is 103 tmc.

The maximum depth of Lake Mead at Hoover Dam is nominally 500 feet when Lake Mead is filled to maximum pool elevation, based on the design of the dam. However, there has been extensive sedimentation throughout Lake Mead, and sediment now reaches depths of almost 100 feet at the bottom of Lake Mead near Hoover Dam. The current result is a maximum depth of about 400 feet when Lake Mead is at full pool elevation, and that maximum depth will continue to diminish over time.

The dam will drawn at least 1,000 towns and villages under its massive reservoir, and displace two million villagers who have inhabited the area. Also many of these displaced villagers have to relocate to know over populated cities and towns making the slums even bigger. Even more so, these villagers who had to move into these new towns are even more worse off then they were before because now they can not farm and have to buy food; but they don't have the skill set to get a real job.

A power generating capacity of 2.8 million kilowatts!

no, its thicker at the bottom

It's displaced atleast 1.3 million people It's contributed to extinction of the river dolphin 1300 archaelogical sites, some of which are over 3000 years of age decrease flushing ability, thus increasing pollution some think it wont last long due to debate over projected silt rates infact you could learn all this from wikipedia

At present there are 19 dams

As the dam stopped the annual flooding there was no more silt - very fertile soil - washed onto the land, therefore Egyptian farmers now have to rely on fertilizer.

the sardar sarovar dam built across river narmada in hirkud.

It is mainly made up of 2 islands, but 3 islands actually SURROUND it.

A river leads in to the ocean but a bay is just a body of water.

Building a dam helps by blocking out water. Like in Canada Manitoba, the river there always floods, then overflows the city. So this summer they tried building a dam. In return, their city didn't flood, so that's the benefits of a dam.

The biggest dam in South Africa is the Gariep Dam, previously known as the Hendrik Verwoerd Dam. When full, it contains nearly 6000 million cubic metres of water spread over more than 370 square kilometres. The dam was completed in 1971.

Theere are a great many waterfalls in New Zealand, as the terrain is generally not flat and most areas get reasonable to high rainfall. Therefore there are many streams and rivers that run over several abrupt changes in level, creating waterfalls.
