Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Contrasted to a single-purpose project that serves only one purpose, a multipurpose project is designed for irrigation, power, flood control, municipal and industrial, recreation, and fish and wildlife benefits, in any combinations of two or more . A distinction is made between primary and secondary uses. It is the primary purpose that initiates planning and construction and dictates financing arrangements of a multipurpose dam. Secondary uses, which were initially planned or attributed as additional functions after planning and construction to make a dam more profitable, have less priority regarding operational management of the reservoir. Since the population receives several domestic and economic benefits from a single investment, a multipurpose dam is a very important and cost effective project for developing countries.
