Dams are everywhere. Whether you live in the mountains or the plains, far from the ocean or near, they are there. However, many don’t realize the purpose, function and benefits that they give to us each day. By studying about dams, using drawing skills to pictorially show the parts of a dam, and possible visiting a dam out in nature, you can better understand the world we live in and how God blessed us with natural resources. | Dams are everywhere.
