As part of your challenge of solving the issues along the river systems in ancient times, many groups chose to build some type of structure that blocks the water. It just so happens north of the border between Egypt and Sudan lies the Aswan High Dam, a huge rock fill dam which captures the world's largest reservoirs, Lake Nasser. However, the question remains, is the building of a dam necessarily a positive for the Egyptians?
Homework Response Question [Due by Friday, 12/12/14]:- I will allow this to be completed late with credit!
What are the positive and negative effects of building a Dam? Has the Aswan High Dam been a positive or a negative for the Egyptians? Explain in detail!

The Positive is it could give electricity and less floods. The Negative's it could break and flood even worse. I think it was a positive because it would give them more good things like more electricity less flooding and nice flow of water.

positive
1. Controlled water supply
2. Hydro-electric power generation
3. Control of downstream flooding
4. New habitat
negative
1. Loss of existing use of land
2. May generate an earthquake swarm
3. Will generate a new micro-climate
4. Downstream effect may be unpredictable cf Aswan Dam and Colorado Dams.

The Aswan dam has a positive effect on Ancient Egyptian because Ancient Egyptian needs more water for crops and if a drought happens you will still have some water
The positive is so it could help humans get there water and the negatives are that if it rains alot it could cause a flood and drought
