I was gonna ask the same thing :P
Well I think we do, I thought it was The Three Gorges Dam in China though!? Like as a hard engineering example.
I'm just going to learn a few points on it, hopefully it won't come up!


Isnt that basically just having a case study for a dam/reservoir ? this is why im confused becasues a dam/reservoir is flood control and i dont understand what sort of question we would be asked on it as the infromation that ive been given isnt clear for like impacts and responses etc

Right, I have just checked on the specification thing and I was wrong; it said for water on the land, you only have to learn case studies for an LEDC and MEDC flood (and effects, responses etc.) and a case study for WATER management.
And the water management case study I've learned, incorporates dams/reservoirs (for the water transfer to areas of deficit), so I guess they don't really need tohave a case study for a dam/reservoir.

They are the only 2 case studies in Water on the Land, I have just checked :smile:

Kielder Water in Northumberland is the reservoir, where we must know the physical and human factors of the reservoir. Such as there's high annual precipitation (1370mm), only a few people lived in the valley, they were rehoused, the land there was poor-quality and not many habitats were lost.
Then I guess depending on the question you would probably also say about how and why this has been used as a flood defence.
Hope this helps! :smile:

I know what you mean though by nothing being clear about this bit, having a crap teacher such as the one I have doesn't help :angry:

Yeah, I mean reservoirs, as they prevent floods.

And I don't need to take the day off, I have study leave! :wink:
I need to get A/A* in geography to do a-level so I'm trying to do hardcore revision.
Coasts is so boring though -_-
So we all think salt marshes might come up?

And I have study leave too so I'm not taking off school

Are there any good websites to revise salt marshes?

i've just done the keyhaven ones in the textbook, i'm not sure how to describe fully its characteristics though :s-smilie:

any advice on this?
Tsunami's haven't really come up, nor has ocean trenches and how they a formed, my guess is those.
* and don't forget to READ THE QUESTION. I get told that all the time. The last thing you want to do is misread the question and start rambling on about the wrong thing...
Btw, is anyone doing Ecosystems for no.3?

My teachers reckon Salt Marshes will certainly appear for Coasts, they said something along the lines of the habitat and species found and also how the habitat is developed. So worth looking at that.

I feel it would be wrong to thumbs-up that post due to its fateful nature,
despite it being something i can completely relate to :P
same and same.

the countdown starts ......:biggrin:


Hahaha, It's so depressing.. In my class we spent like a year on human and like 2 months on physical so I'm feeling a bit screwed right about now.

It's so hard so much to remember and I can't learn all the case studies :frown:
