Advantages and disadvantages of multi-purpose river projects


Multi purpose river project

A multifunctional project, commonly referred to as a multipurpose river valley project, achieves several objectives simultaneously. It is also possible to build a dam across a river that serves multiple purposes at once, which is referred to as a multipurpose project. It has a lot of advantages but also some disadvantages.

Advantages of multi-purpose river projects- Advantages of multipurpose river valley projects:
  • to build irrigation infrastructure and advance canal navigation
  • to protect soil and water resources
  • to generate hydroelectric electricity
  • to conserve water for possible future usage when there is a greater need
Disadvantages of multi-purpose river projects –Disadvantages of multipurpose river valley project:

The multipurpose project interferes with the natural flow of water.
Streambeds become harder as a result of the significant silt it creates at the river's bottom.
Because the dam floods the flora and soil on both sides of the river, creating flood plains, it damages the environment for marine life.

Big dams and multi-purpose projects have faced a lot of opposition and criticism recently for a variety of reasons. When dams are built and rivers are controlled, natural drainage is disrupted, which results in poor sediment flow and excessive sedimentation at reservoir bottoms, which causes rockier stream beds and worse circumstances for river marine lif

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
