    This document summarizes a seminar presentation about dams. It begins with an introduction stating that dams are barriers that restrict water flow and create reservoirs. It then defines a dam as a barrier that raises water levels to generate electricity or provide a water supply. The document proceeds to classify dams based on their function, hydraulic design, structural behavior, and materials of construction. It concludes by stating that dams provide important uses such as water for domestic, industrial, and irrigation purposes as well as hydroelectric power and river navigation.

    CONTENTS
    • INTRODUCTION
    • DEFINITION
    • CLASSIFICATION OF DAMS
    • USES OF DAMS
    INTRODUCTION
    • A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the
    flow of water or underground streams. 
    • Reservoirs created by dams not only suppress
    floods
    • Also provide water for activities such as
    irrigation, human consumption, industrial use,
    aquaculture, and navigability.
    DEFINITION
    • A barrier constructed to hold back water and
    raise its level, forming a reservoir used to
    generate electricity or as a water supply is
    called as dams.
    Basic structure of dam
    CLASSIFICATION OF DAMS
    • Classification based on function
    Coffer dam
    Diversion dams
    Debris dams
    Storage dam

    Type of dam based on function


    • Classification based on hydraulic design
    Overflow dams
    Non overflow dams
    Partially overflow dams

    Type of dam based on hydraulic design


    • Classification based on structural behaviour
    Gravity dams
    Arc dams
    Buttress dams
    Embankment dams

    Type of dam based on structural behaviour


    • Classification based on materials of
    construction
     Rigid
     Non Rigid

    Type of dam based on materials of consruction


    USES OF DAMS
    • Dams are important because they
    provide water for domestic, industry and
    irrigation purposes.
    • Dams often also provide hydroelectric power
    production and river navigation.
    • Domestic use includes everyday activities such
    as water for drinking, cooking, bathing,
    washing, and lawn and garden watering.
