Economic consequences of removing dams

Geography
1 answer:
g100num [7]2 years ago
6 0
The U.S. has more than 87,000 dams greater than six feet high (and two million overall). While many dams continue to provide benefits such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply, for other dams the cost of maintenance or the negative effects on communities, fish, and tribes justifies their removal.
Dam owners and regulators decide whether to remove a dam by weighing many factors including: the cost of removal and the ability to replace any lost power generation against avoided long-term maintenance; safety concerns; benefits to endangered fish populations; increased recreational and commercial fishing; and restoration of cultural values of nearby tribes.
By 2020, roughly 70% of dams will be more than 50 years old, inviting us to reconsider the value to the public of long-term investments in this infrastructure.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Use materials more resistant to chemical weathering.

Explanation:

In the context of a warm and humid city, it is important to use building materials that are not extremely susceptible to chemical weathering. Buildings made of brick and/or iron and steel will survive much longer in the elements in a tropical condition than will a building made of wood or calcite. The latter is especially vulnerable to even the slightest amount of acidity in the rain and is easily dissolved.
