A '''diversion dam''' is a type of [[dam]] that diverts all or a portion of the flow of a [[river]] from its natural course. Diversion dams do not generally impound water in a [[reservoir (water)|reservoir]]. Instead, the water is diverted into an artificial water course or [[canal]], which may be used for [[irrigation]] or return to the river after passing through [[hydroelectric]] [[generator]]s, flow into a different river or be itself dammed forming a reservoir. |
