Dam Dam Dam

The city of Dracula, with 900,000 residents, faces a decision on allowing a steel factory near its crucial dam. The case focuses on the dam’s hydroelectric power generation and its sustainability. Key considerations include the factory’s impact on water levels, electricity production, and environmental concerns. Analysis reveals that the factory’s water usage would cause power generation to fall below sustainable levels after 2.25 years. The recommendation is to reject the factory proposal due to long-term energy sustainability issues and potential environmental risks, despite potential economic benefits. The case emphasizes the importance of resource management and exploring alternative energy sources for the city’s future.
