Question

Describe how a fast flowing river can become a natural resource

Answer 1

Answer:

A river already is a significant natural resource. But as electricity (hydroelectricity) can be generated from a fast flowing river, it's significance increases. Dams are built on it to convert it to electricity for various purposes.

I hope it's helpful!:)

Answer 2

A fast-flowing river is a natural resource, the explanation follows:

• Anything that is found in nature that can be put to human use is a natural resource. Hence, the river is already a natural resource.
• Fast flowing rivers are good for the physical and cultural environment as they provide water and sediments to agricultural fields, deliver food and support freshwater fishery
• However, a fast-flowing river can be of greater benefit as a natural resource as besides its water its kinetic energy becomes the subject of utilization
• The kinetic energy of fast flowing river can be harnessed, depending on the topography, nearby population and other factors, to generate hydroelectricity through dams
• However, dams create a lot of problems for human and marine life
• Another way of utilizing the fast-flowing waters of the river is to promote tourism, boating or rowing in the river.
