Intro quiz - Recap from previous lesson

Before we start this lesson, let’s see what you can remember from this topic. Here’s a quick quiz!

Q1.An advantage of a top-down project is...

It can ignore the local community needs and so it doesn't always benefit the local area. It is large scale and so can benefit a large number of people. It is relatively expensive. Aid is not targeted accurately so risks being wasted.

1/5

Q2.The true statement is...

A dam does not control the amount of water flowing downstream. A dam can produce hydroelectric power from the moving water. A reservoir is a natural lake.

2/5

Q3.The River Congo is a good river on which to build a hydroelectric dam because...

It is the river with a high discharge and so has a lot of potential power. It is a river with a low discharge and so does not have a lot of potential power. The river is easily navigable so it is better used as a transport link.

3/5

Q4.An advantage (positive impact) of building the Great Inga Dam in the DRC is...

The reservoir will flood the villages in the Bundi valley, causing about 35,000 people to be displaced. The power generated can be transported to the mines to increase output and generate money. The dam will interrupt fish migration. It will cost about US$80 billion, and there are concerns it will go over budget.

4/5

Q5.A disadvantage (negative impact) of building the Great Inga Dam is that...

The poor infrastructure for electricity supply means that not all people in the DRC will receive power to their homes. Hydroelectric power is clean, renewable energy and so will help to combat climate change. Some of the electricity generated can be sold to other countries to make the DRC some money. A big project like the Great Inga Dam attracts aid and foreign investment into the DRC.
