8a

Wildlife




8b

Water quality




8c

Permitting





9

Research or interview an engineer or other expert on dam safety. Have the expert explain the inspection techniques that they use to identify a failing dam.




10

Do one of the following:



10a

Research and/or visit a fish passage/ladder for a dam structure and design/sketch one for a dam near you.




10b

Research and/or visit a locks system. Using materials of your choice, construct a model of a lock system with moving parts.




10c

Using contour maps, design a dam for a local stream and do/answer the following:



10ci

Draw a plan view and cross section(s) of your dam showing spillway, emergency spillway, crest, slope angles, toe of slopes, normal high-water elevation and other pertinent features.




10cii

What type of dam did you select and why?




10ciii

What is the Hydraulic Head of your dam?




10civ

Outline the limits of the watershed that is tributary to your dam.




10cv

How large (surface area and volume) of a reservoir will be impounded by your dam?






11

Read Daniel 5 and research how Darius the Mede captured Babylon. Find two other places in the Bible where dams or the control of water are mentioned.




12

Share a devotional with your Pathfinder club on a spiritual lesson that you learned while studying this honor.
