Finley+and+Eds+Dam+It+project

This Page will have contain our progress on our Dam in the Murray river. We will try and create as much electricity and connect them into power lines.

Location

This is the longest river in Australia and if we can make it run then we will be able to generate a lot of power. It will be placed in the middle of the Murray river and for the initial part we will set up a small ring out of Picrete and we will temporally drain that area until we have built the actual dam and then we will put it back in. It will be next to Wentworth.

Our Map

This will show you all of the things that are in the map.

Key

Blue= The blue are the picrete dams that we will drain out all of the excess water so we can build the major dam. Red= Are the major dams made out of concrete and that will give us most of our power. Orange= We will break that little bit of land open for diverted route for boats and ferries. The other Orange is a copper circle to get more electricity. Yellow= is the storage tanks to store the water while the dam is built. Green= is the pipes where the water will go to get to the storage tanks.
