Question

There are large number of rivers in the hilly areas of our country on which dams can be constructed but have not constructed yet. describe what resources are these rivers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Concept:

A dam is a water-holding structure constructed across a stream, river, or estuary. Dams are built to provide water for human use, irrigation of desert and semiarid land, and industrial processes. They are used to increase the quantity of water available for hydroelectric power generation, to reduce the peak flow of floodwater generated by large storms or heavy snowfall, or to improve navigation and make it simpler for barges and ships to transit rivers. Dams can also create a lake that can be used for recreational activities like swimming, boating, and fishing. Many dams are constructed for dual purposes.

Given:

In the hilly portions of our country, there are numerous rivers on which dams could be built but have not yet been built. describe what resources are these rivers?​

Answer:

1. Dibang Dam:

Dibang Dam is a proposed and planned concrete gravity dam in the Lower Dibang Valley area of Arunachal Pradesh that will be India's largest and tallest concrete gravity dam at 288 metres. The Lower Dibang Valley's Dibang Dam will generate up to 3,000 megawatts of hydroelectric power.

2. Tipaimukh Dam:

Tipaimukh Dam, located on the river Barak in Manipur, is a hydroelectric power producing project in North East India. The dam is an embankment dam designed to manage flooding and generate electricity, but India and Bangladesh are at odds.

3. Manibhadra Dam:

The projected Manibhadra dam on the river Mahanadi in Odisha, as well as the Barmul dam and canals from the Godavari, are all part of the Mahanadi Godavari Link project. The projected Mahanadi-Godavari interconnection will include reservoirs and a canal power plant.

4. Under Construction Subansiri Lower Dam:

The Subansiri Lower Dam is a gravity dam being built on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border across the Subansiri River. The run-of-the-river project is India's largest hydroelectric project, with completion planned in 2018. This concrete gravity dam will have eight horseshoe-shaped head race tunnels and will be used for power generating or irrigation.

Answer 2

Concept introduction:

Dams are water retaining structures built on streams, rivers, or estuaries. Dams are built to direct water to populations, to irrigate desert and semi-desert regions, and to irrigate industrial processes. They are used to increase water availability for hydroelectricity, reduce peak flood discharges caused by heavy storms and heavy snowfall, improve navigation, and facilitate river navigation. It will be transported by barge and boat.

Explanation:

We have been given a question which provides information that there are large  number of rivers in the hilly areas of India on which dams can be constructed but not constructed yet.

We need to find out the resources of the rivers in which it will be suitable to construct dam.

Final answer:

Tipaimukh Dam: Tipaimukh Dam, located at on the Barak River in Manipur, is a hydropower project in northeastern India. The dam was designed to manage floods and generate electricity, but India and Bangladesh disagree.

Divan dam: Divan dam is a proposed and planned concrete gravity dam in the valley below Divan, Arunachal Pradesh and is the largest and tallest concrete gravity dam in the world. 288 meters in India. Divan dam in the Lower Divan valley produces up to 3,000 MW of hydroelectricity.
