Sardar Sarovar Dam, Gravity dam in Songadh, India
The Sardar Sarovar Dam spans 1210 meters across the Narmada River and reaches a height of 163 meters with reinforced concrete construction.
Construction began in 1987 as part of the Narmada Valley Development Project, becoming India's second-largest concrete gravity dam after extensive planning and development.
The Narmada Bachao Andolan movement organized protests against the dam's construction, highlighting displacement concerns of indigenous communities across multiple Indian states.
The dam generates 1450 megawatts of hydroelectric power through six power units of 200 megawatts each and five units of 50 megawatts along its main canal.
Solar panels installed along the Narmada Canal create a dual-purpose infrastructure, combining water distribution with renewable energy generation.
