Wild Salmon Vs. Farmed Salmon 1 Salmon is the third most consumed seafood in the U.S. (2010). Each person eats about 2 pounds a year. The source of this fish is acquired from two places‚ either a salmon farm or from the wild. There are definite positives and negative to both sources‚ but farmed salmon benefits both the consumer and the environment‚ while wild salmon only benefits the consumer. 2 Farming Salmon is very significant to the market demand. Annually‚ Americans

the impact of dams on the economic‚ social and environmental contexts. The idea was to analyse the dam’s major impact on each of these aspects. In the economic background‚ the benefits that hydroelectric dams provide were discussed in addition to the dam’s economic role in agriculture and food supply. Next‚ social impacts of dams were assessed which were mostly negative that dealt with population displacement and cultural sites destruction. The environment section discussed dam’s effect on river flow

A dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water‚ while other structures such as floodgates or levees (also known as dikes) are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions. Hydropower and pumped-storage hydroelectricity are often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect water or for storage of water which can be evenly distributed between locations.

Magat Dam Magat Dam in Ramon‚ Isabela used to be the largest dam in the Philippines back when it was built in 1983. The controversial San Roque Dam (featured previously) has since eclipsed it in both structural and reservoir size in 2004. Magat Dam generates 360 megawatts of electricity (with a water head of 81 meters high) and supplies irrigation water for approximately 85‚000 hectares of farmland in Isabela and surrounding areas. The dam was constructed at a cost of 6.5 billion pesos and consists

nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams provide about 50% of the power generated for the United States doing so in a clean and efficient manner. Both systems have their ups and down‚ radiation and disrupting ecosystems for example‚ but their benefits far outweigh the small risks and problems they create. We have progressed in leaps and bounds in power development making these two much safer and efficient than most other ways to generate electricity. Hydroelectric dams create a substantial amount

Hoover Dam INTRODUCTION Without the Hoover Dam‚ many more people would have been jobless during the hard times of the Depression which would have hindered many people needs for inexpensive power and water. While the construction of the Hoover Dam was ongoing‚ many workers looked to it as a representation of every American’s contribution to a better life. The Hoover Dam caused the once deserted towns in the West to flourish into booming metropolises. The construction of the Hoover Dam helped to

ydroelectric Power!Hydroelectric Power There’s more to this water sourced energy than meets the eye! Hydroelectric energy is the simplest and first technology to generate electricity. It was first developed using dams‚ timber‚ or granite. Using this –with the requirements of one gallon of water falling 100 feet- creates 1000 watts of electricity. There are currently 30 major power plants generating more than 2000 megawatts under construction. They have been running for many years. But wait‚ there’s
