   A RIVER IS A NATURAL WATERCOURSE
    FLOWING TOWARDS AN OCEAN, A LAKE OR A
    SEA.
   RIVERS ARE INSEPARABLE PARTS OF OUR
    COUNTRY.
   A RIVER NOT ONLY FLOWS DOWN THE WATER
    INTO SEA, BUT ALSO CARRIES WITH HER
    VARIOUS DEPOSITS AND MINERALS IN
    DISSOLVED FORM.
   RIVER MOUTH, WHERE FRESH WATER OF THE
    RIVER MERGES WITH THE SALINE OCEANIC
    WATER, IS THE LARGST BIO-PRODUCTIVE
    AREA.
   RIVERS ARE IMPORTANT SOURCES OF WATER
    FOR HOUSEHOLDS, INDUSTRY AND
    AGRICULTURE.
   IT PROVIDE US WITH FOOD, ENERGY,
    TRANSPORTATION ROUTES, AND WATER FOR
    IRRIGATION AND FOR DRINKING.

RIVER
   DAMS ARE STRUCTURES THAT HOLD BACK
    WATER, OR OTHER LIQUID MATERIAL
    REASONS TO BUILD A DAM:
     GENERATION OF HYDROELECTRICITY,
     IRRIGATION, CONTROL FLOODING.
    ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL
     COMMISSION ON LARGE DAMS, THE
     HEIGHT OF THE DAM FROM THE BASE TO
     ITS APEX MUST BE 15 METRES OR MORE,
     TO CALL IT A LARGE DAM.
   DUE TO DAMS, FERTILE PLAINS WOULD
    SUBMERGE, PEOPLE WOULD BE DISPLACED,
    FORESTS AND AGRICULTURAL LAND WOULD
    BE LOST, AND SAFETY OF DAMS, FLOODS
    ETC.
   DAMS ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO BUILD
    AND MUST BE BUILT TO A VERY HIGH
    STANDARD.
