A multipurpose river valley project serves many purposes such as preventing flooding. producing electricity, increasing agricultural areas, etc. An example of such a project is the Damodar Valley Project in India. Its purpose is to prevent flooding and crop damage and provide placement for hydel- power stations. It also opened up access to huge deposits of coal and iron ore.
A river valley multipurpose project is a project which covers the development of dam on a sufficiently large river extended over a large geographical area. It serves many purposes at a single time like acting as a hydroelectric power plant,providing a source of clean drinking water, providing irrigation to fields, checking floods and flow of river water etc.
The multipurpose river valley projects are river projects that serve many purposes as preventing flooding. producing electricity, increasing agricultural areas, ...etc.
Multi purpose river valley projects that are built on various rivers and can be used for many different purposes:
1) provides work
2) eliminates flooding
3) provides power
4) provides water for human consumption
5) helps to conserve water
6) provides water for agriculture
7) provides water for industrial uses
8) provides for a fishery where one may not have existed before
9) changes the ecology of the region
10) opens new areas to agriculture
11) supports tree plantation to conserve groundwater and soil.

Multipurpose river valley project have been developed all over the world to utilize water.The dams or a series of dams are constructed across the river for storing water. This stored water are then used for generating hydro-electricity ,afforestation,control floods, navigation etc.
The Kosi Multipurpose River Valley Project is a dam constructed on the Kosi River in Bihar, India. The project aims to control flooding, provide irrigation, generate hydroelectricity, and improve water supply for agriculture and drinking water. It has faced challenges such as sedimentation and breach of the embankments leading to devastating floods in the past.
"In India many multipurpose river projects are undertaken by the Government under 5- year Plans.These are:(Projects - River - State)1.Bhakra Nangal Project - Sutlej - Punjab,Haryana,Rajasthan2.Thein Dam Project - Ravi - Punjab3.Ramganga Multipurpose Project -Chuisot Stream near Kalabagh - U.P.4.Damodar Valley Multipurpose Project - Damodar - W.B.5.Mayurakshi Project - Mayurakshi - W.B.6.Hirakud Multipurpose Project(world's longest main stream dam) - Mahanadi - Orissa7.Nagarjun Sagar, Upper Krishna Project - Krishna -Andhra Pradesh, Karnatak8.Tungabhadra Multipurpose Project - Tungabhadra -Andhra Pradesh, Karnatak9.Chambal Project - Chambal - Rajasthan10.Sardar Sarobar Project - Narmada -Gujrat, M.P. Maharastra11.Matatila Project - Betwa - U.P., M.P.These all are the multipurpose river valley projects. Beside these many river projects are there in India which are either used for irrigation purpose or for hydroelectricity generation."
The world is tremendously in need of drinking water and each river valley project is worth of double of it. When electricity flows from the projects, it illuminates the world and make the industries more productive that can meet the increased population.

A multipurpose river valley project serves many purposes such as preventing flooding. producing electricity, increasing agricultural areas, etc. An example of such a project is the Damodar Valley Project in India. Its purpose is to prevent flooding and crop damage and provide placement for hydel- power stations. It also opened up access to huge deposits of coal and iron ore.
The primary purpose of Multipurpose River Valley Projects is to produce electricity. A secondary purpose is to prevent flooding especially during the monsoon season.
"Damoder valley project" is on the river "Damodar"
Damodar Valley Project is the first multipurpose river valley project of independent India began on July 7,1948.It was gradually completed as follows: 1. the first dam on Barkar River, a tributary of Damodar River completed in 1953 at Tilaiya. 2. The second dam on Konar River, a tributary of damodar River completed on 1955 at Konar. 3. A dam at Maithan completed on 1957 and other at Panchet completed on 1959.
