What is a "dam"?
A dam is a large structure built to control or stop the flow of water, usually across a river or stream. It is designed to hold back water, creating a storage area for various purposes, such as providing water, generating electricity, or preventing floods. Dams are often made of concrete, earth, or rock and can vary in size from small ones used for farming to large ones that create lakes or power entire regions. They play an important role in managing water and protecting areas from flooding.
