Introduction
Dams are barriers that hold water or underground streams. They are huge walls of stone or concrete built in a path of a river to form an artificial lake or reservoir. They have the most important roles in utilizing water resources. It is constructed long years before gaining present information about hydrology and hydromechanics. It’s not an ordinary engineering building. Dam projects are useful in meeting the demand for water in desired times and in regulating stream system, have undertaken an important function in the development of civilization. It serves a primary purpose of retaining water.
Dams have different kinds of purposes like in irrigation, hydropower, water supply for domestic and industrial use, inland navigation, and flood control. It has been a great use since the early times. Dams were used to control water level and release the extra if it reaches the critical level.
