Thokarwadi Dam, Gravity dam in Maval, Pune District, India.

The Thokarwadi Dam extends 741 meters across the Andra River, holding back water in a reservoir that covers 24 square kilometers of surface area.

The Maharashtra government inaugurated this hydroelectric infrastructure in 1922, marking a substantial development in the region's water management and power generation capabilities.

The reservoir influences local agricultural patterns, with farmers adapting their cultivation methods according to the water distribution from the dam throughout seasons.

The dam generates 72 megawatts of hydroelectric power while maintaining a spillway capacity of 546 cubic meters per second for effective water management.

Water from the Krishna River basin diverts through this dam to the Bhivpuri powerhouse before flowing westward into the Arabian Sea.
