Which is an advantage of building a dam?
Building a dam results in a body of water behind the dam and an area of dry land in front of the dam. The body of water behind the dam can be seeded with fish for sports or a food source (pisciculture). The water can be used as a reservoir for drinking water or as an entertainment area. The dry area in front of the dam can be used for living space and agriculture. The dam itself can be constructed, as many dams are, to use the stored energy in the water to generate electricity.
How does the Hoover Dam work?
