Dams are structures built to stop water from coming out of the reservoir. A reservoir is a waterbody where water is stored. The reservoirs are also used to generate hydel power which means electricity made from water currents. When the reservoir is overflowing, the dam releases gates built on it to make the extra water go. These reservoirs are used for irrigational purposes also.
