dam

1 - In the view of the torrential rain during last week, reservoir storage levels in the dam near the town reached 450 million cubic meters.

2 - Using the dam to generate power would not violate the treaty with the neighboring country, but diverting water out of the river.

3 - Many major rivers in the world are at risk of drying out because of climate change and dam construction, which could affect fresh water supplies and marine life.

4 - Floods are most common near water, downstream from a dam, or in land that has a low elevation.

5 - The new rock-fill dam, constructed on the Tigris, is strong enough to withstand the most severe earthquakes.
