<u>Answer:</u>

The Mercator map projection is considered to be the best for calculating directions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Though the Mercator map projection is known for causing longitudinal and latitudinal distortion to a great extent, it is still relied upon so much because the distortions caused in this projection are always two-way, i.e., a distortion in the latitude also brings a distortion in the longitude to balance and equate the distortions.

Owing to this quality of the Mercator map projection, the calculation of directions using this projection gives the best and precise results.

Overall opinion on the effectiveness of dams and reservoirs

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Dams help in preventing floods. They catch extra water so that it doesn't run wild downstream. Dam operators can let water out through the dam when needed. The first upstream flood control dam was built in 1948, Cloud Creek Dam in Oklahoma.

People build reservoirs because the amount of water in a river varies over time. During very rainy times or when mountain snow is melting, the water in a river rises and sometimes overflows its banks. By limiting the amount of water allowed to continue downriver, reservoirs help control flooding.
