Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The Sivasamudram project, situated on the Kaveri River in Karnataka, was inaugurated in 1902 primarily as a pioneering hydroelectric power station (one of the oldest in Asia) to supply electricity to the Kolar Gold Fields, rather than serving as an irrigation network. The other structures (Bhavani Sagar, Krishnaraja Sagar, and Bhakra Nangal) have extensive canal systems built specifically for large-scale agricultural irrigation.
