hydraulic infrastructure
Hydraulic infrastructure refers to engineered systems designed to manage the movement, storage, and control of water. This includes dams, reservoirs, pipelines, canals, and pumps that supply water for urban, agricultural, and industrial use, as well as for flood control and hydroelectric power generation. These structures ensure safe water delivery, regulate water flow, and protect communities from flooding. By efficiently managing water resources, hydraulic infrastructure supports sustainable development, public health, and energy needs, playing a vital role in modern societies’ ability to harness and control water.
