Severn Barrage

The Severn Barrage is a proposed tidal power project in the UK, designed to harness the energy of the Severn River’s tides. It would involve building a dam or barrage across the river estuary, which would create a large reservoir. As the tide rises and falls, water would flow through turbines in the barrage, generating electricity. This project aims to provide renewable energy while reducing carbon emissions. However, it has been the subject of environmental and economic debates, as it could impact local ecosystems and communities.
