After many years, the dam's gate has finally opened.

To begin, please understand that dams are built to hold water from the catchment region during rains and utilize it throughout the non-monsoon period, which is normally the full year following the monsoon months.

Dams act as enormous reservoirs to provide the overall requirement for fresh water. In contrast to sea water, which must be desalinated before use, fresh water can be consumed directly.

If dams are not built, rainwater will flow from catchment areas to rivers, where it would eventually mix with seawater.
