multipurpose projects of dams |
| Answer» Today, Dams are built not for irrigation but for electricity generation, water supply for domestic and industrial uses, flood control, recreation, inland navigation and fish breeding. Hence, these dams are referred as multi purpose projects where the many uses of the impound water are integrated with one another. For Example - In the Sutluj Beas river basin, the Bhankra-Nangal project water is being used both for hydel power production and irrigation. | |
