In my world I have a reservoir that is backed up by a fortress /dam. The fortress was originally there to block a very important mountain pass that was once used by invaders, it was later converted into a dam but is still used as a fort. The purpose of the dam is the issue. I put a dam there because I really liked the idea of having a huge reservoir in a mountain valley because I thought that the landscape would be really pretty, but then I remembered that in a real world humans would not waste precious resources to build a dam just because it looks pretty but I cant think of any reasons and I was unable to find anything on the web( I was not looking hard enough) I really want the dam to have a practical purpose so I wont have to cut it out of my world, so my question is what uses could a dam have in a fantasy medieval/ gothic setting?
