Buyers have more homes to choose among, which increases the odds a buyer will find that perfect home. In a cold real estate market, serious sellers are often willing to negotiate. This means you can probably buy a home for less than list price, and the seller might be willing to pay some or all of your closing costs.

Dams block the flow of a river or stream and create a lake or reservoir behind them, which acts as a source of stored energy (a battery is another example of a reservoir of stored energy). The dam raises the surface water up to a great height, giving it potential energy, the potential to do work.Water flows from the reservoir and through a dam by way of a special intake gate called a penstock. It's kind of like one of those water tunnels you slide through at a water park in the summer. Water flow rate is in cubic meters per second (m 3 /s). 2  Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 meters per second squared (m/s 2). 3  Height is in meters (m). 4  Coefficient of efficiency ranges from 0 to 1, with modern power plants having the highest efficiency.
