Feb 24, 2023 - Hydroelectric dams: Using the Power of Water
Hydroelectric dams allow us to harness the power of water and are flood protection at the same time - a true engineering feat! Dams are barriers that are built to store water or to protect an area from flooding. Dams can also be used to generate electricity by forcing stored water through dam turbines. Some dams in France have revolutionized the construction of hydroelectric power plants. Come along to France`s largest dams and see how they were created: Serre Ponçon was built in 1960, is 120 meters high and forms the largest man-made lake in the country. The Romanche-Gavet dam was completed in 2020 and replaces six old hydroelectric power plants and five dams.
