50. Large Dams and Reservoirs Have Advantages and Disadvantages (1) Main goals of a dam and reservoir system supplies drinking water.  Downstream flooding is reduced  Generate cheap electricity  Supply irrigation water to dry areas  Recreation (reservoirs)

51. Large Dams and Reservoirs Have Disadvantages Disadvantages ◦ Displaces people (TVA) ◦ Flooded regions destroys forests and croplands ◦ Migration and spawning of fish is disrupted ◦ Structural failure of Dam ◦ Sediment builds up behind the dam and is not allowed to enrich the river below the dam

82. Fig. 13-20, p. 335 Center pivot (efficiency 80% with low-pressure sprinkler and 90–95% with LEPA sprinkler) Drip irrigation (efficiency 90–95%) Water usually pumped from underground and sprayed from mobile boom with sprinklers. Gravity flow (efficiency 60% and 80% with surge valves) Above- or below-ground pipes or tubes deliver water to individual plant roots. Water usually comes from an aqueduct system or a nearby river.
