Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page paper provides an overview of the reasons for surveying prior to the creation of a hydro-electric dam. The creation of a plan for excavating an area where construction of a hydro-electric dam will occur is an imperative part of the planning process. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

changes that occur to archeological findings as a result of the introduction of water to a region, the flooding itself marks such a major change that excavation must occur prior
to the flooding of the river valley. The assessments of both the surveying process and the formation processes that have and will impact the region require a view of
the topographical, compositional and element components of the region relative to the initaitoni of the survey. The survey of the 10 square mile region that is to be flooded can
be initiated with a view of the topographical/environmental conditions prevalent to this area. The region to be surveyed is composed primarily of a valley constructed between large rock walls.
From a purely tectonic perspective, the valley itself iles in the sendimentary area of the helvetic cover, and as a result, the area is primarily componsed of chalk rock
formations. As a result, the region has a large flat base, distinct and abrupt rock wall formations, and vegetative areas that are sloped and hilly. A study of
the region suggests that it was formed during the glacial period, as a result of the changes and movement of the river, and the erosion caused by the presence of
the river prior to glacial changes. Survey Methods The region to be surveyed, then, is comprised of both hilly and smooth terrain, with a number of areas of less
than 1 square mile that are covered with vegetation. Initially, a graph was constructed of 1 square mile segments, which allows for the assessment of each segment relative to
topographical features, including the representative types of terrain. This also allows for the planning for test sites for excavation in each of the different terrain segments (smooth, rolling, rough,
