- Econonmical
- Costly
- Case Study: Trans- Alaskan
Pipeline. The total cost of $8
billion is required.
- Special designs are required. The
shape are zig-zag lined for contraction
and expansion. Heat exchange
machines are required to prevent it
from sinking to the floor.
- Housing
- They have to be built higher

- - Arctic Ocean’s northern sea route navigable
for around 100 days in the summer, but frozen
for the other 8 months in the year. - In
summer, routes must cross the waterlogged
land and roads can be impassable. -Rivers are
used by barges in summer, but navigation is
difficult due to flooding from snowmelt and
large sandbanks that develop. - In winter, the
frozen rivers are used as ice roads for trucks,
yet there are risks of going through the ice of
hitting obstacles.
- Food
Supply
- High cost and limited resources
- Oppotrunities
- Economical
- Increase in jobs opportunities
- Case Study: The Alps, Switzerland
- - Sufficient precipitation (i.e.
snow) - Orographic rainfall -
