• Dam construction is one of the oldest technology that is still used today.
• In the construction of dams, physics and techniques are the main factors that must be considered.
• The largest dam in the world today is the three gorges dam in China with a height of 233 meters and a length of about 2.3 kilometers.
• Hoover dams in the United States are one of the oldest dams that are still operating today.
• To produce electricity, water from the dam is directed to a turbine that produces electrical energy.
• In the construction of dams, environmental problems need to be considered, such as the influence on wildlife habitats and ground water.
• Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) technology is used in modern dam construction to increase structural strength and resistance.
• Dams can be used to improve water quality by controlling water flow and removing sediments and waste.
• Dam development can provide economic benefits, such as the development of tourism and irrigation for agriculture.
• In the construction of dams, it is also necessary to consider geological and topographic factors to ensure dam security and stability.
