  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. ____67____ to be fascinated is also, sometimes, to be blind. Several giant dam projects threaten to do ____68____ harm than good.
  The lesson from dams is ____69____ big is not always beautiful. It doesn’t help that ____70____ a big, powerful dam has become a ____71____ of achievement for nations and people striving to ____72____ themselves. Egypt’s leadership in the Arab world was cemented by the Aswan High Dam. Turkey's bid for First World ____73____ 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 ____74____ the fertile silt that floods left — all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of ____75____ that it ____76____ generates electricity.
  And yet, the myth of controlling the waters ____77____. This week, in the heart of civilized Europe, Slovaks and Hungarians stopped just short of sending in the ____78____ 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 ____79____ itself.
  ____80____, in India, the World Bank has given the go-ahead to the even more ____81____ Narmada Dam. And the bank has done this even though its advisors say the dam will cause hardship for the ____82____ and environmental destruction. The benefits are for the powerful, but they are far from guaranteed.
  Proper, scientific study of the impacts ____83____ dams and of the cost and benefits of controlling water can help to ____84____ 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 ____85____ proper, or scientific. It is time that the world ____86____ the lessons of Aswan. You don’t need a dam to be saved.
