US Engineers designing project

The video discusses a project involving a $2,000,000 investment to develop a scheme for Cobbs Cook Bay. The plan includes creating a reservoir by linking islands to the mainland with dams. Gates will manage water flow to generate power, with turbines turning like a waterfall. To ensure a 24-hour power supply, an auxiliary plant is necessary.

What is the primary purpose of the $2,000,000 investment in the Cobbs Cook Bay project?

• To create a wildlife sanctuary

• To develop a series of dams

• To fund a research study

• To build a new city

How is the reservoir in Cobbs Cook Bay formed?

• By digging a large pit

• By linking islands with bridges

• By diverting a river

• By connecting islands to the mainland with dams

What happens when the tide outside falls 5 1/2 feet below the inside level?

• The gates remain closed

• The reservoir is drained

• The powerhouse gates are opened

• The water is pumped back into the sea

What is the role of the auxiliary plant in the Cobbs Cook Bay project?

• To desalinate water

• To provide backup power during specific periods

• To monitor wildlife

• To store excess water

Why is continuous power supply important for the Cobbs Cook Bay project?

• To maintain a constant water level

• To ensure the reservoir remains full

• To provide power 24 hours a day

• To prevent flooding
