Considering Options to Construct Water Reservoir to address the drinking water shortage? (kuenselonline.com)
Building reservoir dams for storing water has been used as an efficient way of water resource management in many countries around the world. (kuenselonline.com)
Through this article we propose exploring options to build a reservoir dam which could serve as a better alternative to managing the available water resources. (kuenselonline.com)
A reservoir is generally a large water storage facility that can be designed by the construction of a dam across a river. (kuenselonline.com)
The dam would then control the amount of water that flows out of the reservoir. (kuenselonline.com)
Having a properly designed reservoir dam can help even out these differences in the water availability between the dry and wet seasons and ultimately curve the water shortage problem. (kuenselonline.com)
Thus building a reservoir dam for water supply is also feasible both in terms of human and financial resource capacities if the government of the day sets the right priority. (kuenselonline.com)
For example, in Thimphu City, a water reservoir can be built across the Ola Rongchhu or Ngabi Rongchhu after conducting careful feasibility studies including flood risk management strategies. (kuenselonline.com)
Having such a reservoir in place would ensure a continuous supply of drinking water throughout the year. (kuenselonline.com)
The researchers determined that increasing reservoir storage capacity can have unintended long term consequences by worsening water shortages . (earth.com)
This promotes a vicious cycle where a new water shortage is addressed by further expansion of reservoir storage, enabling more water consumption until the next shortage. (earth.com)

and Evanston, Illinois) demonstrated the oral health benefits of fluoridated water in several communities and established water fluoridation as a practical, effective public health measure that would prevent dental caries (11-14). (cdc.gov)
