Water Issues Project

My water issues project was on the benefits and consequences of dams. I chose this topic because I knew a little about it but I wanted to know more about what the purpose of dams were and how they impact our environment. I learned that dams can be both a good and a bad thing. Our society needs to understand that although dams can have a positive influence on our lives, we can go overboard. The Three Gorges Dam (pictured above) is the largest dam in the world. Studies show that because it can shift enormous amounts of water, it has the potential to actually slow the rotation of the Earth.
