Why are dams called multipurpose projects

Dear student,

The place where water is stored at a height in large volumes is called dam. The water stored in them solves many purposes thats why they are called multipurpose projects. They help to-
  1. Sustain the water level in the rivers and increase water level during droughts
  2. Provide water to the agricultural fields by canals for irrigation.
  3. Prevent flooding by distributing water
  4. Provide water to households and industries
  5. To generate electricity from the energy of water stored at height.
  6. For growing fishes and recreational activities such as boating
