Use details from the article to argue that the Glen Canyon area is a better place because of the dam.

Answer 1

Well the place is better because of the dam because it provides us with fresh clean water and it provides fresh clean water to the cities downstreams, plus power and electricity. however he says it harms the wildlife like for example the rare fish and animals plus the scenery. hope this helps!
