The correct answer is D) All of the above.
Dams and reservoirs play a crucial role in Kerala’s irrigation, hydropower generation, and water supply.
- Irrigation: Dams and reservoirs store water that can be used for irrigation. This is important in Kerala, where agriculture is a major industry.
- Hydropower generation: Dams can be used to generate electricity by using the power of falling water. This is a clean and renewable source of energy.
- Water supply: Dams and reservoirs can be used to store water for drinking, bathing, and other purposes. This is important in Kerala, where water is a scarce resource.
In addition to these three main functions, dams and reservoirs can also be used for flood control, recreation, and fish farming.
