B) Cross Sections: Two cross sections, with no vertical exaggeration, need to be constructed that best highlighted the geology of the region, particularly focusing on where the potential dam sites could be located (1 page): 1. An initial cross section needs to be constructed running east – west. 2. A second cross section running north – south should be constructed. (20 marks) C) Potential Dam Sites: Identify three potential dam sites along any of the water ways found within the map for a dam of approximately 10000 ML. Each potential dam site should be on a different geological unit to ensure that a range of geological factors are considered and the best potential site is chosen. An analysis of each site should be conducted and a comparison of the various sites should detail the strengths and weaknesses of each site (2 pages – appendices may be included; Geology Map; Topographic Map; Appendices 1 & 2). There needs to be a final selection of the best dam site based on an evaluation of the three selected sites that considers all of the data presented. Further site investigation recommendations to verify the viability of the site need to be included (1 page) prior to seeking tenders to actually construct the dam.
