Shirvata Dam, Gravity dam on Indrayani River in Maharashtra, India
The Shirvata Dam extends 2,212 meters in length and rises 38.71 meters above its foundation, creating a reservoir with a surface area of 13 square kilometers.
The construction and inauguration of Shirvata Dam in 1920 marked a significant advancement in Maharashtra's water management and power generation infrastructure.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the dam's reservoir, supporting both the economic stability and social fabric of nearby communities.
The dam generates hydroelectric power while maintaining a water storage capacity of 185,110 cubic kilometers for irrigation and local water supply needs.
The dam's structural design relies entirely on its mass of 460 cubic kilometers to resist water pressure, making it a pure example of gravity dam engineering.
