      Hi Kanchi
      Good intro.
      You can also quote some report like according to a United Nations (UN) report “Ageing water infrastructure: An emerging global risk”, over 1,000 large dams in India will be roughly 50 years old in 2025 and such ageing embankments across the world pose a growing threat.
      Challenges and measures are discussed in a good manner.
      Briefly write the impact also.
      Overall a good attempt.
      Keep working hard.
