Dams
Hydropower dams are massive concrete walls placed inside rivers or streams to hold back water. Holes in the dam allow controlled amounts of water to pass through and as it moves through these holes, it passes through a machine, which converts that movement into electricity. Dams are incredible engineering marvels that represent one of the most beneficial and effective forms of electricity creation today.
First, dams positively impact the environment. Once constructed, these massive walls hold back tremendous amounts of water, forming artificial lakes. These lakes produce not only a wonderful habitat for fish but also a beautiful recreation area for local citizens, which serves to help the local population stay aware and respectful of nature. Additionally, through irrigation, these lakes bring to life millions of acres of ground that would otherwise lie barren.
Second, the power generated from a dam produces no harmful pollutants. This is in direct contrast to the dominant source of electricity production today—coal power plants, which are the leading cause of smog, acid rain, and air pollution. One large dam generates roughly the same amount of electricity as a typical coal plant. Consequently, dams, by replacing these plants, eliminate, among several other toxic pollutants, an average of 3.7 million tons of the global warming gas carbon dioxide per year.
Third, dams create no financial burden for the community. Because dams generate electricity and provide irrigation water for local agricultural concerns, they provide two means of bringing in revenue for owners. Combined, this revenue more than covers the significant expenses incurred during operation of the dam, resulting in significant profits. For example, the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington produces approximately 15 billion in revenue per year and requires only 5.7 billion in operating costs.
The reading states that dams are beneficial for human and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that there should be more research in order to understand that are the dams beneficial or not. He states that the results of the research could not be the same as it was described in the text and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the article claims that dams create a beautiful recreational areas and also a lot of water for irrigation. The professor refutes this point by saying that these dams are not really beneticial for environment and the people who live there. He states that for building these dams water should delivered to another place which cause that many fishes lost their way and die. Also, after bring back the water the water flows really slower than before which cause that productivity of the fishes that need fast water decrease.
Second, the reading posits that these dams has no harm to the environment. However, the professor declares that building dams in an environment bring flood to that place which cause the death of some vegetables. these dead bodies produce metaen which cause global warming. According to professor these phenomena cause the death of plants whish had lessen the carbon-dioxide. So as it can be seen these dams not only are not better than coal power plants, but maybe they are worse.
Third, the article avers that these dams do note create financial burden to the community. The professor opposes this point by explaining that these dams bring artificial lakes. Local resistant are coming near these artificial lakes which now is a good place to live as people can have enough water and electricity. So, to make more places for these people, there must be more construction. These construction needs more money which coms from the government aid. And so the government will get tax to solve this problem.
