Plz help!!!! what are the pros and cons of the hetch hetchy dam

English
1 answer:
kykrilka [37]3 years ago
3 0
Pros: Hetch Hetchy is an iconic, rare and spectacular landscape,
Hetch Hetchy is part of Yosemite National Park and its damming and flooding is by far the worst destruction of our national parks have ever experienced
Restoration would not only make Yosemite whole once again it would inspire people that we don’t need to live with mistakes of the past

Cons: Prinstine – Hetch Hetchy Reservoir collects and stores pristine snowmelt and precipitation from the protected Yosemite National Park wilderness area.
No Filtration – Water collected and stored in Hetch Hetchy Reservoir’s granite basin consistently meets and exceeds Federal and State Filtration standards for safe drinking water. No filtration of this source water is necessary or required.
Reliable Water Delivery – The water storage provided by Hetch Hetchy Reservoir is invaluable in its ability to capture snowmelt and store the water for reliable delivery throughout the year and across multiple years. This storage is heavily depended upon during droughts when the natural hydrology is in capable of meeting water needs even when rationing is in place.
Gravity-Driven – The high elevation of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and the engineering infrastructure of the Regional Water System move water from its source, across the state, and to its customers using little more than gravity.
Renewable, Dependable Electricity – Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, along with the waters retained in Cherry Lake and Lake Eleanor, provide the gravity-drivein water that is transformed into renewable, dependable electricity.”

What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Adress?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The main idea of Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address is that<u> the Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being</u>.

Explanation:

Lincoln was elected on November 6, 1860, and before he took office, on March 4, 1861, seven southern states had left the federation. In his inaugural address, Lincoln made clear his position regarding slavery in the South: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so".

In this way, Lincoln carefully repeated the very clear position of his new government on the issue of slavery, in order to calm the South. He would not interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it already existed and was protected by the Constitution.

How is the Declaration of Independence structured ?
vitfil [10]
<span>The Declaration of Independence is structured in five fundamental parts: Introduction, the Preamble, the Charge of George III, the Denunciation of the British, and the Conclusion. The Introduction contains statements stating that people have the ability to assume political independence under Natural Law. Followed by the Preamble which contains the summary of the general philosophy of government that justifies a revolution when the government damages natural rights. The Accusation is a list of "repeated insults and usurpations." The Denunciation, speaks of the end of the case of independence. The Conclusion shows that the signatories affirm that there are conditions under which the people must change their government, and it is necessary that the colonies announce their separation and dissolve their ties with the British crown. Firmantes, the first and famous signature in the official version is John Hancock, the president of the Continental Congress. Two future presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, are signatories.</span>
