How can you say that gorges are suitable for construction of dams?
Gorges are suitable for the construction of dams due to their natural topography, which often provides a narrow and deep channel ideal for creating a reservoir. The steep sides of gorges can help contain water, reducing the risk of flooding in surrounding areas. Additionally, the geological stability typically found in these regions can enhance the structural integrity of the dam. Finally, gorges often have a natural flow of water, making them advantageous locations for hydroelectric power generation.
