They are also less expensive to build and maintain. However, they require more land and can be more difficult to construct.<\/p>\n<p>Gravity dams are made of concrete or stone and are designed to withstand the force of water by their own weight. They are very strong and can be built very tall, but they are also very expensive to build and maintain.
