Geography
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

A dam is an artificial barrier that controls the flow of water.

Dams are very useful for the following reasons:

  • They are sources of hydro-electric power production: most dams in the world are used to generate this environmentally friendly source of power. The water in the dam is used to drive heavy turbines which in turn produces electric current.
  • They are sources of water for irrigation: during the dry season when water is scanty, water in the dam can be channeled for farming and other agricultural purposes.
  • A potential source of tourism: they are used in generating revenue as result of their touristic outlay.

Do the people of Taiwan feel they should be recognized as an independent state?
defon

Answer:

I believed they should be recognized as most of the people in Taiwan are supporting this idea.

Explanation:

In modern period according to me it is unthinkable that people of certain area and country are not able to decide on their own whether they want to support  certain political idea and agendas.

That is why people of Taiwan should decide on their own whether they would like to live an independent country or to remain the part of China.
