Dams

To stop sedimention of the reservior. These Dams have low level sluices to help carry away sediments.

prevent flooding of the lower Nile, generate power, provide water for irrigation and i guess generate income for the owners

yes they can, aslong as the temperature is rigth and they have a decent amount of food fish should be able to survive in a dam. theyu water may have to be PH treated though

Dam

Lake Mead is formed by the dam; until the dam was finished, there was no Lake Mead to hold back. The river was diverted during the construction.

Kinetic energy to electric

something

Hoover dam was built to supply electrical power to Las Vegas .

Dams and Reservoirs.

Is water depth greater near the rainbow dam or the Ryan dam

Pros:

•Flood Control

•Emissions reductions

•Treating Waste Water

•Generates renewable power

•Transportation

•Creates jobs

•No pollution

•Tourist attraction

•Very powerful; produces a lot of energy

Cons:

•Relocation; millions of people were forced to move

•Threatens river wildlife

•Disrupts heavy silt flows of the river

•Increases the chances of an earthquake by the weight of tons of water

•Catastrophic Failure

•Pollution build up

•Possible landslides

•Expensive

•Destroyed historical sites

•Flood control (the farmers won't have fertile soil if it doesn't flood, so this fits in the pros & cons category.)

Where is TN? Could be Tennesse, Tamil Nadu, Tunisia

Only for the last one I have for sure the answer: not enough rainfall!

hydroelectric power.

Yes, they do. Dams can cause huge environmental degradation:

1) disturb natural fluctuations in water source

2) water quality can be degraded

3) transport of sediment along the rive is disrupted

4) reservoirs can emit climate changing greenhouse gases

Fault lines and land folds influence the construction of dams and tunnels by helping to decide where at in the land and run of the river the structure will be made, and also how strong the structure will need to be.

There are many hydroelectric dams all with their own name. The world's largest hydroelectric dam is the Three Gorges Dam located on the Yangtze River in China. Another famous dam is the Hoover Dam, located on the Colorado River at the boarder of Arizona and Nevada (US Route 93). Anmother one is Kaptai Dam, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Farakka Dam, kolkata, India.

A 10-second trip to Wikipedia... yielded the figure 2,909 million cubic meters.

The advantages:

-Water resource management including irrigation,

-water for human consumption,

-flood control and others,

-generate electricity,

-act to prevent water shed flooding,

-provide irrigation,

-navigation,

-habitat improvement,

-improve fishery populations.

angat dam is a dam.

Yes. There was a Man that Fell into the Wet Concrete and They Couldnt Get him out. So They had to Leave him

Well, 300 count of 3-1/8 Air filled balls cost about $42.99, so depending how large you want the pit to be, that's how much the balls cost. Do the math.

Yes, but they work backwards.

No. That was one reason there was so much controversy over the dam. It affects the natural migration of sturgeon naturally living in the river. If there are any left after all that pollution...
