Reading week #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

The topic I’ve chosen is hydroelectricity. Hydroelectricity is obtaining the power of falling water to create electricity. Hydroelectricity has been around for as long as 2000 years. The Greeks used a wheel powered by water to grind wheat into flour. Later on in the mid 1700’s the evolution of the modern hydropower turbine began when a French hydraulic and military engineer, Bernard Forest de Belidor wrote Architecture Hydraulique. II. How Hydroelectricity works So how does hydroelectricity

Everything runs with electricity and it is produced by dams. Hydro-electric dams are very important nowadays as they supply a lot electricity. Society believes that hydro- electric dams are not very useful in the creation of electricity. Hydro-electricity is electricity which is produced by water. Canada is ranked second out of the world in the production of hydro-electricity and the hydro-electric dams produce 60% of Canada's total energy. There are about 933 hydro-electricity dams in Canada.

It is often thought that hydroelectric power is the worst source of renewable power because it’s dangerous for the environment. According to Mathias Aarre Maehlum, “The environmental consequences of hydropower are related to interventions in nature due to damming of water, changed water flow and the construction of roads and power lines. Hydroelectric power plants may affect fish is a complex interaction between numerous physical and biological factors,” (Energy Informative). The making of hydroelectric

Introduction “In spite of the fact that water is accessible on this planet in vast amount however it is not uniformly conveyed. It possesses 70% of earth surface from which 2.5% is viewed as fresh water and the staying 97.5% is exceptionally saline Ocean” (Lenine, 1983). “Appropriation of water has dependably been an issue all through the mankind 's history. Appropriation is not an issue when item like water is accessible plentiful and each co-offer get his acceptable offer. It turns into an issue

Hydropower is a alternative energy sources that makes electricity using water, this process goes from mechanical to electrical . This form of energy is a transfer from mechanical to electrical energy. Hydroelectric power is very useful source of alternative energy, if this market keeps growing, it could be the solution to a clean and mostly environmentally friendly power source. The most common source for generating hydroelectric power is dams. There are an estimated 57,000 large dams around the

If you see yuma right now you wouldn't tell that back when yuma became a town it flooded up most of the time and destroy everything in its way and it would be dangerous because it could kill people.
