Asan Barrage, Water barrage in Dehradun district, India

The Asan Barrage extends 287.5 meters across the confluence of the Asan River and Eastern Yamuna Canal in northern India.

The construction of Asan Barrage established a water management system that transformed agricultural practices and power generation capabilities in Uttarakhand.

Local communities gather at the barrage site throughout the year to observe migratory birds from Eurasia and participate in environmental education programs.

The barrage channels water through the Eastern Yamuna Canal to power the 30-megawatt Kulhal Power Plant, containing three 10-megawatt Kaplan turbine generators.

In 2020, Asan Barrage received designation as Uttarakhand's first Ramsar site, supporting 53 bird species in its wetland ecosystem.
