Download Solution PDFAssertion and Reason Explanation:
- Assertion: The volume of water stored in a reservoir between the normal pool level and the maximum pool level is known as surcharge storage.
- This statement is true. Surcharge storage refers to the volume of water that can be stored above the normal pool level up to the maximum pool level, which is typically reserved for flood control.
- Reason: Surcharge storage is mainly to detain the flood water so that it does not cause any danger on the downstream side.
- This statement is also true. The primary purpose of surcharge storage is to temporarily store excess floodwater, thereby preventing downstream flooding and minimizing potential damage. This storage capacity allows the reservoir to manage floodwaters more effectively.
Therefore, both the Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason correctly explains the Assertion.
