  2. Graph

  3. Graph Explained • Hydroelectic Power hasn’t increased or decreased. In the graph it shows from the year 1960 – 1999, it stayed right across the line all those years and hasn’t moved up or down.

  4. Disadvantages •  Dams are extremely expensive to build and must be built to a very high standard. • The high cost of dam construction means that they must operate for many decades to become profitable. • The flooding of large areas of land means that the natural environment is destroyed. • People living in villages and towns that are in the valley to be flooded, must move out.

  5. Advantages • Once a dam is constructed, electricity can be produced at a constant rate. • If electricity is not needed, the sluice gates can be shut, stopping electricity generation. • Dams are designed to last many decades and so can contribute to the generation of electricity for many decades. • The lake's water can be used for irrigation purposes.

  6. Does this trend support CT’s initiative to significantly decrease the use of non-renewable resources by the year of 2010?
