a. A dam is usually built at the site of hydroelectric power. As water accumulates, its potential power for producing electric power increases. As this water moves downstream from the dam, mostly through a fall, its kinetic energy is harnessed by turbines and converted to electric energy.
b. One factor is the height of the fall of the water from the dam. The higher the height the higher the kinetic energy of the water and hence can be converted to higher electric energy. The higher the number of coils of the turbine generator being rotated by the water, the higher the conversion to electric current.
c. One is impoundment. This type is the most common and involves the building of a dam to store water and later the water is released to turn turbines. The second type is diversion. This type does not require a dam. Some water is diverted from the main river to create a pen-stock that runs a turbine.
d. The advantage of hydroelectric power is that is is a clean energy source hence does not cause global warming. Global warming can have economic consequences. The operating cost of this type of plant is low hence the costs of electricity are able to be kept low for the consumers. 2 disadvantage is that creating a dam upstream causes a change in the physical and chemical characteristics of the river or water bodies affecting ecosystems. Another is that electricity is dependent on the water regime hence dependency is tied to climate.
Explanation:
Drinking water requirement in town 2.0 m^3/s of water per second
nitrate in local well nitrate per 15 
of water
nitrate in distant reservoir 
Let the flow rate of well
flow rate of reservoir 
Drinking water requirement is 
or 
therefore, the total flow of drinking water
Answer:
his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph
Explanation:
Let say the speed of the bicycle while he moves towards the city is "v"
now the speed of the round trip must be smaller by 1 mph
so its speed for round trip will be
now we know that total time of the motion is 19 hr
so we will have
so we will have
by solving above equation we have
so his speeds while going to city is 10 mph and while his round trip the speed will be 9 mph
