	Holding Back the Waters—Dams as Water Resource Monuments
		Dams on the Salt/Verde River, the Aqua Fria River, the Gila River, and the Colorado River pose the greatest threat to the largest population centers within the state.
		To study a dam's construction at a particular time and place, whether five, 20 or 150 years ago, is to gain some understanding of the society at that time, its politics, economics, and social values, not to mention its le vel of technical proficiency.
		He said that all dams, regardless of their size and operation, are linked together, along with other water diversion strategies, as part and parcel of a comprehensive strategy to develop the water resources of the country.

	American Rivers: 56 Dams in 11 States to be removed in 2005
		Only three dams to be removed in 2005 were ever used to generate hydroelectric power and all of them have been off the grid for many years.
		Dams drown valuable habitat under reservoirs, block the annual migrations of fish, and can create downstream conditions inhospitable for fish and wildlife.
		For example, just two years after a dam was removed from Tea Creek in Pennsylvania, the number of trout soared to more than six times the population necessary to earn the coveted “Class A” designation that lures anglers from across the state.

	RESERVOIR-INDUCED EARTHQUAKES AND ENGINEERING POLICY
		Thus, for a deep reservoir one might argue that the statistical chances of an earthquake exceeding magnitude 5.7 being triggered are perhaps 4 in 200.
		It is generally agreed that a reservoir, by whatever physical mechanism, is only triggering the release of natural tectonic strain, and is not in itself generating the principal seismic energy.
		In at least one case (Hsinfengkiang Dam, China), the surprising presence of many small earthquakes during the initial stages of filling led to such concern that the dam was immediately strengthened, the wisdom of which became apparent shortly thereafter when a magnitude 6.1 event occurred almost beneath the structure (Sheng and others, 1973).
