How dams help us in conserving and managing water?

Dams are one of the most effective ways to conserve and manage our water resources. By blocking the flow of a river, they create a reservoir with a large capacity that can store water for extended periods of time.

This allows water to be used when needed instead of being lost to floods or other extreme weather events. Additionally, dams can be used to regulate water flow, helping to prevent flooding in downstream areas. They also help to recharge aquifers, support fish migration, and provide recreational opportunities.
