Description

A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of surface water or underground streams. Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress floods but also provide water for activities such as irrigation, human consumption, industrial use, aquaculture, and navigability. Hydropower is often used in conjunction with dams to generate electricity. A dam can also be used to collect or store water which can be evenly distributed between locations. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates or levees are used to manage or prevent water flow into specific land regions.

ਬੰਨ੍ਹ ਜਾਂ ਡੈਮ ਜਾਂ ਬੰਧ ਇੱਕ ਅਜਿਹੀ ਰੋਕ ਜਾਂ ਵਾੜ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਉਤਲਾ ਪਾਣੀ ਜਾਂ ਜਮੀਨ ਹੇਠਲੀਆਂ ਨਾਲੀਆਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਬੰਨ੍ਹ ਲਾਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਹਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਮੁੱਖ ਕੰਮ ਪਾਣੀ ਇਕੱਠਾ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜਦਕਿ ਮੋਘੇ ਅਤੇ ਧੁੱਸੀ ਬੰਨ੍ਹ ਵਰਗੇ ਹੋਰ ਢਾਂਚੇ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਇਲਾਕਿਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਾਣੀ ਦੇ ਵਹਾਅ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਦੇ ਅਤੇ ਸਾਂਭਦੇ ਹਨ।
