Dear Aspirants,
Welcome to Mentor for Bank Exams. Here I am sharing List of Dams and Reservoirs in India.
List of Dams in India:
A dam is a barrier that impounds
water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress
floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human
consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability.
