Extra Height

That's me briefing Brigadier General Anderson (the #2 guy in the 82nd Airborne) on my scheme to boost power production and irrigation distribution at the Dur anta_Dam.

My finger is on the 'clinch' slide/poster, which shows how we can go from 8.5 megawatts to about 46 megawatts by making the dam higher. The extra height will increase both the hydrostatic head-pressure as well as the capacity of the reservoir, which will in turn enable more hydro-electric power to be produced. ....as ever, this particular scheme will cost a bit....but a great deal less than the other plans out there.
