uO

nT

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the most impressive Seven Wonders of the

ie

World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in

Ta

iL

Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth

s/

century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as some of the most impressive ones in the

ro

up

world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a

/g

question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be

.c

om

linked with the availability of fresh water.

bo
ok

One possible explanation for the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the

ce

inhabitant’s irrigation system. The temples and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a

.fa

series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the

w

w

Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding paddies and farmland

w

during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent on the water for water
crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to
maintain functional crop production.
Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic system of
the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and

palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of Khmer
Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and
around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food

more quickly and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was
pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and loss of water led to decrease
in the food supply. With the less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate
to other parts of Cambodia, thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the
jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own
decrepit infrastructure.

s/

The quest for sustainable sources of energy study the energy has led humans to study the

ro

up

energy potential of the sun and the wind, as well as the immense power created by dammed

/g

rivers. The oceans, too, represent an impressive source of potential energy. For example, it has

.c

om

been estimated that the oceans could provide nearly 3,000 times the energy generated by

bo
ok

hydroelectric dams such as the Hoover Dam. Yet, this source remains quite difficult to

ce

exploit.

.fa

But this challenge has not prevented scientists from trying. Within the last few decades,

w

w

several technologies that can transform the ocean’s immense forces into usable electricity have

w

been invented and introduced. Some focus on capturing the power of the changing tides, while
others rely on thermal energy created by oceans in certain tropical regions. However, the most
common and easiest-to-develop technologies are those designed to harness the power inherent
in the ocean’s waves.

There are several methods by which ocean-wave energy can be collected. All of them work
because the movement of the water that the waves induce creates storable energy by directly
or indirectly driving a power generator. In one such technology, the changing water levels in

the ocean that are produced by waves lift a long floating tube comprised of many sections
connected by hinges. As the sections move up and down with the water, they pump a special
fluid through the tube that can be used to drive a generator. Another techniques works on a
similar principle, only the floating object rocks back and forth with the motion of the water
instead of up and down. A third method of collecting wave energy relies on the rising water
from the waves to compress air in a partially submerged chamber. As the waves rush into the

chamber, they push the air out through a narrow tunnel. Located inside this tunnel is a turbine
connected to a power generator. The movement of the air turns the turbine, which feeds energy

D

H
oc

into the generator.
The drawback to each of these concepts is that the they make it necessary to have
many pieces of machinery linked together. This presents a problem because the large the

hi

device, the more vulnerable it is to damage from hazardous ocean environments, and the more

uO

nT

likely it is to interfere with otherwise unspoiled coastal scenery. Also, these methods demand

ie

the construction of site-specific machines that take into consideration average local wave

Ta

iL

heights and sea conditions. Such a requirement can be quite cost-prohibitive, because

s/

engineers must create unique power generation mechanism for each site. In other words, the

/g

ro

up

ability to get power from waves differ from region to region.

.c

om

Japan, Norway, and the UK have attempted to generate energy by capturing the power of

bo
ok

ocean waves. In northern Scotland, the first power plan to use wave power, OSPREY ( Ocean
Swell Powered Renewable Energy ), began operating in 1995. It followed the principle of the

.fa

ce

third method described above : waves entering a partially submerged chamber pushed air into

w

w

turbines to generate electricity. The electricity was then transmitted to power collectors in the

w

shore via underwater cables. Unfortunately, the OSPREY plant was destroyed in a large
storm, highlighting an unavoidable difficulty associated with this kind of power generation.
The potential benefits of wave-based energy are hard to ignore. Once the proper
machinery is produced and installed, the energy is free. Maintenance cost are small, and the
equipment does not pose any threats of environmental pollution. And best of all, the amounts
of energy produced are enormous.
However, these theoretical advantages have yet to be fully realized. In many cases, a lack
of government funding has inhibited the technologies from advancing. For example, despite

the relative abundance of proposed wave-power devices, many have not been adequately
tested, and most have been evaluated only in artificial pools where they are not subjected to the
harsh marine conditions that exist in actual oceans. Protecting the equipment from the sea’s
destructive forces, as well as the fundamental task of determining feasible locations for
collecting energy source are substantial and will require more time to overcome.
