    What is a Multipurpose Dam

    Multipurpose dams combine two or more functions of traditional single-purpose dams into one hydro infrastructure project.  A multipurpose dam may combine storing and supplying water for irrigation, industry and human consumption with other uses such as flood control, power generation, navigation, run-off storage and water discharge regulation.

    Description

    Increasing water efficiency in industry can reduce use and produce a number of environmental and

    socio-economic benefits. Behavioural, operational and technological changes can all contribute to

    improved water efficiency in industrial production. Significant improvements can be achieved with more

    effective leak detection and repair of water pipes and use of new and more efficient technologies (e.g.

    pipes, smart dosage systems, timers, higher efficiency cleaning systems, water monitoring systems).
