Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They 1 that in
the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the 2 man. But they
insisted that its土resultsduring the period from 17 50 to 18 50were widespread poverty and misery
for the 4 of the English population. 5 contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from
16 50 to 17 50, when England was still a 6 agricultural country, a period of great abundance and
prosperity.
This view, 二isgenerally thought to be wrong. Specialists 8 history and economics, have_.2
two things: that the period from 16 50 to 17 50 was 10 by great poverty, and that industrialization
certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the
populace.

Few creations of big technology capture the imagination like giant dams. Perhaps it is
humankind's long suffering at the mercy of flood and drought that makes the idea of forcing the waters
to do our bidding so fascinating. But to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam
projects threaten to do more harm than good.
The lesson from dams is that big is not always beautiful. It doesn't help that building a big,
powerful dam has become a symbol of achievement for nations and people striving to assert
themselves. Egypt's leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey's bid
for First World status includes the giant Ataturk Dam.
But big dams tend not to work as intended. The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile
flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left -- all in return for a giant reservoir of
disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.
And yet, the myth of controlling the waters persists. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe,
Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the troops in their contention over a dam on
the Danube. The huge complex will probably have all the usual problems of big dams. But Slovakia is
bidding for independence from the Czechs, and now needs a dam to prove itself.
Meanwhile, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more wrong-headed
N armada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship
for the powerless and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far
from guaranteed.
Proper, scientific study of the impacts of dams and of the cost and benefits of controlling water
can help to resolve these conflicts. Hydroelectric power and flood control and irrigation are possible
without building monster dams. But when you are dealing with myths, it is hard to be either proper, or
scientific. It is time that the world learned the lessons of Aswan. You don't need a dam to be saved.
