When the Elwha Dam was demolished it was the largest controlled sediment release in a dam removal project anywhere in the world. Because of the amount of sediment behind large dams like the Elwha‚ the demolition must be done gradually over time to ensure that there is not an overflow of sediment rushed down the river which could cause significant damage to the landscape and the organisms which inhabit it. At the time of the dam removal the Elwha was holding behind it 15‚000‚000 cubic yards of silt

The Hoover Dam does more than attract tourist‚ it provides power to 8 million people (32). Instead of using a heat source to create steam to turn a turbine like most power plants‚ hydroelectric plants use the natural flow of water and divert it through a turbine via a dam. The estimated available hydro energy in the United States‚ discounting wilderness preserves and the likes‚ is 65 gigawatts. One significant advantage of hydroelectric power in the U.S. is that there are existing dams across the
