I'm doing this project about the building of the Auburn Dam. Instead of building it what would be some other alternatives???
If anyone could help me out that'd be great

not building it
Well, that was helpful:rolleyes:
I wish I could be of some assistance, but I don't remember any of that crap from school.
What is the project about? Are you looking for other ways to contain the water, or are you dealing with the controversy of building the dam itself?
 
compare the way we build damns now to the way the romans used aqueducts to control water. -=)
i dont know if they is within topic.. but it would be a easy project.. just show how technology and design has evolved.. aqueducts were just used to manipulate water.. while dams can be used to create power.. blah blah blah

Exactly...do you need the dam to create energy, or just as a source to hold water? If the latter was the case, then what about water towers?
 
you have a breakdown of what you need on this paper? type it in here and well have a better idea what you need.. besides.. i got nothing better to do.. im stuck at work -=(
 
if you are comparing ways to control water.. aqueducts vs dams would be a good reports..
if you are doing ways to make energy (does that damn even make power???) then you may want to do somehting about that vs like a paddle wheel lil house on the prarie s***.
or if your talking about issues with buidling it.. amybe compare difficulties building that vs building something like folsom dam..
 
ok guys..i dont need smart ass comments....but anyways
If you build a damn it gives you power generation ,and water for recreational use, water for irrigation. So if we didnt have dam's built what would be an alternative. Water from well's or what? Thats all i need to know
 
well water wheels could be used for power.. or just other powersources in general.. water towers + natural bodies of water for water storage and.. lakes and rivers for recreation.. and people could still build swimming pools. -=)
hows that?
how long does this paper have to be?
 
Thx Mypfizzle...i jus needed some ideas like that. it's gunna be 2-4 pages typed but that was jus one question about it. I got the rest covered..thanks again
