- 7. Multi-purpose river projects are large dams built across rivers to serve several purposes at the same time, such as irrigation, generation of hydroelectric power, water supply for homes and industry, flood control, navigation and recreation; examples include the Bhakra-Nangal and Hirakud projects. Their benefits are considerable: they store water for farming, produce clean electricity and help control floods. However, they also bring serious drawbacks. They submerge large areas of land and forests, displace many people from their homes, disturb the natural flow and aquatic life of rivers, and in some cases increase the risk of floods or earthquakes. These costs have led to protests such as the Narmada Bachao Andolan, showing that the gains of big dams must be weighed against their social and environmental impact.
