final completion of the Hoover Dam, an engineering marvel. Due to the fact that the Hoover Dam is located on the boarder of Nevada and Arizona, it is extremely hot there. During this time period, the citizens living in these dry climates pushed for an irrigation system that would benefit these desert surroundings with flooding protection and something to act as a utility to help provide power to the growing cities nearby. The best answer to this was the Hoover Dam, which is located on the Colorado

Without the Hoover Dam many people would have been jobless during the Depression and would have hindered many people's needs for inexpensive power and water. The construction of the Hoover Dam was representative of every American’s contribution to a better life. In addition the dam caused the once deserted towns in the West to flourish into booming metropolises. The Hoover Dam helped to excel economic activity and the growing population in the West in spite of environmental problems. The History

Summary Written By: Bradley Penney Tour Site: Oahe Dam Date: 8/10/15 Time: 9:30 Location: North of Pierre, SD Tour Guide: Kris Cleveland The Oahe Dam was constructed to provide flood control, electric power and irrigation benefits along the Missouri River in central South Dakota. Tour guide, Kris Cleveland, made it very clear that the number one priority of the dam was to control water levels on the Missouri River, with an additional benefit being the generation of electricity

Assignment #2 The Aswan dam was constructed as a direct response to the rapid population growth within Egypt during that time. With a population of 26 million by the time construction began on the dam, the government of Egypt was worried about food and energy demands. The dams original thought was to provide power and expand available water supplies outside of the flooding season to allow for higher agricultural yields. The construction of the dam also thought to carry some secondary effect with

hydroelectric dams like the Three Gorges Dam. The topic is extremely controversial, because while the dams create energy the rising water levels have forced people to move and artifacts to be destroyed. I strongly believe that China should build more hydroelectric dams, and I feel it is my duty to persuade that even though it will destroy many valuable things the benefit will be far greater than the consequences. There are so many reason china should build more hydroelectric dams, but the most

factor, great dams simply make great ruins (Dupree 1980, Carta 2015). With the development of technologies and resources that help an economy’s growth, dam-building has been a primary focus in many countries around the world. Dams create reservoirs, whose water in turn is used for agricultural irrigation, within the industrial sector, and also as human consumption. In addition, dams are used to create hydroelectric power. With all these positive economic effects, one can argue that dams are necessary

Assessment on the Hoover Dam Dr. Safwat H. Shakir November 26, 2016 INTRODUCTION: Water assets building is growing massively today. Dams have the most vital part in using water assets. They were developed taxing year before increasing present data about hydrology and hydro mechanics. All through the historical backdrop of the world, dams have been utilized effectively as a part of gathering, putting away and overseeing water expected to manage human advancement. Dams have a lot of positive

#7: Down go the dams The article “Down go the dams” by Jane C.Marks aim to provide an informative view on the current pending issue on Dams. The article starts out my mentioning the important nature of dams in our society. For example, Jane C.Marks states that today about 800,000 dams operate worldwide as well as the fact that most were built in the past century, primarily after World War II. Furthermore, the author lays down informative facts about dams such as the fact that dams control flooding
