Key Concept: Causation
The dam was built to help
the city because the
population was rapidly
increasing.
The government thought
about what would happen if a
change was not made
 The city officials decided
that a dam was required
 If there wasn’t a dam( like
in the 97 example) there
would not be enough water
supply to the rising
9 years population of the city
