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.

A. At constant humidity, relative humidity increases as temperature decreases.
Explanation:
Weather can be defined as the atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a short period of time.
The elements of weather include precipitation, wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, cloud, and wind speed.
Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object (body).
The relationship between temperature and relative humidity is that at constant humidity, relative humidity increases as temperature decreases.
