India, the place where rivers have the gigantic potential for the development of enormous dams. India is home to around 5,200 dams spread across the country, for various purposes and well-being.
After Independence, we have gained bunches of headway in dams and water repositories, Now India is one of the world’s most productive dam manufacturers.
Water assets in India are progressively turning out to be scant. Since precipitation happens just for 90 days in a couple of spells, stockpiling by dams is basic to use waters.
In India, Agriculture is known to be the foundation of our economy. It assumes a critical part from the efficient viewpoint as well as affects our political, social and social life.
Horticulture relies significantly upon the water. Additionally, water is the most urgent asset a living being necessities to endure. To support life on dryer days, the appropriate capacity of water is fundamental during rainstorms.
In this interaction of capacity and the board of water assets, the greatest and Highest dams and water repositories of India come into the image.
Repositories made by dam stifle floods as well as give water to exercises like water system, human utilization, modern use, hydroponics, and traversability. There can be various purposes behind them for turning into a famous fascination as they are generally circled by the lovely environmental factors.
While dams can profit society from multiple points of view, they are additionally probably the greatest danger to stream nature, untamed life, the amphibian territory of fish, and eventually people.
