Most dams are built to control a river’s water flow, improve navigation and control flooding. However, some dams are built to produce hydroelectric power. Hydroelectric power is produced as water passes through a dam, and into a river below. The more water that passes through a dam, the more energy is produced. Once a dam is built, a manmade lake is created behind the dam. Electricity is produced by a kind of equipment called a turbine(涡轮机). Turbines contain metal coils(线圈)surrounded by magnets(磁铁). When the magnets move round rapidly over the metal coils, electricity is produced. Turbines are located inside dams. The falling water makes the magnets go around the coils. Dams provide clean energy, but they can also harm the environment. Species that use rivers to reproduce are often hurt by dams. In the northwest of the US, the population of fishes has dropped from 16 million to 2. 5 million since hydroelectric plants were built on the Columbia River. Dams all over the world have hurt some species. The highest dam in the United States is located near Oroville, California. The Oroville Dam towers 230 metres and is more than a mile wide. This dam was built in 1968, 22 years after the Hoover Dam. The Hoover Dam, on the Nevada-Arizona border controls the Colorado River. It is 221 metres high and has 2. 6 million hectare-metres of water. The highest dam in the world is the Nurek Dam on the Vakhsh River in Tajikistan, a country in central Asia. This dam is 300 metres tall. 【语篇概述】本文为说明文, 主要介绍大坝的定义、作用、利弊和水利发电的原理, 以及美国及世界上最高的大坝等知识。 Ⅰ.
