  It isn't so stupid actually. It prevents someone else from building it.
If you had a very large continent and and the enemy was far away on a small
continent, and you could build it very quickly inland, then you could prevent
your enemy from reaching you until they get something more seaworthy...

  True. And why can't I "irrigate" the *sea* --- fish are sure easier to
catch if I put a big fench around them. 

  BTW: a hydro plant should have a downstream negative effect on fish
production!
