Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: All of the above.
Small-scale hydropower projects are being developed on some rivers in Manipur to provide electricity to rural areas, irrigation water, and drinking water supply.
- Electricity to rural areas: Small-scale hydropower projects can provide a reliable source of electricity to rural areas that are not connected to the national grid. This can help to improve the quality of life in these areas by providing access to lighting, communication, and other essential services.
- Irrigation water: Small-scale hydropower projects can also be used to provide irrigation water for agricultural purposes. This can help to increase crop yields and improve food security in rural areas.
- Drinking water supply: Small-scale hydropower projects can also be used to provide drinking water for rural communities. This can help to improve public health and reduce the risk of waterborne diseases.
In addition to these benefits, small-scale hydropower projects can also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development.
