In this video, we learn about the dangers of building large dams and reservoirs, and the importance of properly designing and constructing them. The main purpose of these structures is to prevent flooding, but they can also have other benefits, such as providing electricity and transportation. Dams and reservoirs can be dangerous if they are built in an unstable or erosive area, and often result in human and agricultural losses. China is responsible for a large share of the world's dam construction, and some of these dams have been criticized for their potential to cause massive flooding.

• 00:05:00 The Hoover Dam is a spectacularly-decorated dam located in the lower part of the Colorado River, and it is one of the most popular attractions in Vegas. Part of the dam's uniqueness is its unusual towers, which are part of a design project that was especially special at the time it was built in the 1930s. The Hoover Dam is located in the lower part of the Colorado River and has a height of 221 meters. The dam was completed in 1957 and began to fill its reservoir in 1963, causing the deaths of 2,500 local residents. However, the dam itself did not suffer damage during the construction process. In 2009, the largest accidental disaster in Russian history occurred when a landslide caused the release of 540 million gallons of water, killing 75 people. Although the disaster did cause some damage to the dam, it was ultimately repaired for a total cost of 540 million dollars. Today, the dam's engineers are constantly monitoring it for signs of danger, in case something similar happens again in the future. In the meantime, that's all for today. Thanks for watching!
