Gorges da project in China blocks the Yangtze River; it cost $50 billion just for the construction‚ and was fully operational on the 4th of July 2012. This cost doesn’t account for the environmental and social costs that also came with the scheme. The dam drains 1.8million km2 and will supply Shanghai’s population of 13 million along with Chongqing’s population of 3 million with sufficient supplies of water. Not only has it provided people with water but it’s also the worlds’ largest hydroelectric scheme

Two years ago‚ when I was in high school‚ our social science teacher told us there had a serious drought in Southern California. Most of us did not know anything about it and we felt so surprised about this new. Today‚ when I heard this new again‚ I can’t believe that the drought still exist in Southern California‚ I thought it already solved by the government because it had been two years when I heard this new. From most of my research‚ it said that it had been fourth year for California to have

The yuma siphon is still being put to use to this day. “The siphon goes from California to Arizona right under the colorado river.” The Hoover dam was had one of the best and biggest effects on the whole entire Yuma project. What it did was controlled the flow of the water in the colorado river so that anything downstream there would be no crazy flooding which was exactly what the Yuma valley

when establishing the chlorophyll a criteria. For example‚ reservoirs associated with “run-of-the-river” dams typically have small hydraulic head‚ limited storage area and short retention times and are less likely to be susceptible to conditions that can lead to eutrophication or promote excessive algal growth. In contrast‚ reservoirs associated with larger dams‚ such as storage or hydroelectric dams‚ are more likely to have longer retention times‚ providing a greater potential for incoming nutrients

As soon as the water level reached the mouths of the canal‚ the dams that blocked the canals from the Nile River were opened. After these dams were opened the basins and canals were flooded. When the highest water level was attained‚ the canals were once again blocked‚ leaving the remaining water to dissipate from either evaporation or slowly be drained

much as raindrops from being wasted. The Yemeni government should have a clear strategy plan to construct dams to get in the way of water from flowing. It also should allocate in its budge an accurate amount to implement this strategy. For example‚ if we go back through the Yemen old history‚ we will find the most of civilizations have been dependent on the dam constructions‚ such as Marb’s dam which is mentioned in the Holly Quran. It is greatly easier and more effective to use surface water instead
