Morbe Dam

Morbe Dam, Gravity dam in Maharashtra, India.

Morbe Dam is a 3,420 m long gravity dam on the Dhavari river near Khalapur in Raigad district, Maharashtra. Its crest stands 59.1 m above the lowest foundation, and the reservoir behind it, Morbe lake, is the main water source for Navi Mumbai. In the photograph the long grey-brown embankment runs diagonally, its narrow flat crest carrying a thin line, with one end curving slightly at the far left.

Construction of the Morbe Dam on the Dhavari river near Khalapur began in 1999, carried out by the Water Supply and Sanitation Department of the Government of Maharashtra to supply drinking water to Navi Mumbai and Nhava Sheva. The 1981 census recorded about 2,897 people in 11 villages affected by the project. In 2002 the government allowed the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation to take over the dam.

The reservoir behind the dam, Morbe Lake, is the main source of drinking water for Navi Mumbai. The dam is named after Morbe, the village in Raigad district where it stands, near Khalapur. The project displaced about 2,897 people from 11 villages, according to the 1981 census.

Morbe Dam lies near Khalapur in Raigad district, about 18.91°N, 73.26°E, on the Dhavari river; the reservoir is the main water source for Navi Mumbai. The 3,420 m long embankment is a working water-supply dam, so access to the crest is controlled by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, which took over the dam in 2002.

The dam is named after A. D. More, the Maharashtra state government official credited as key personnel in delivering the project. Its reservoir, Morbe Lake, is the main water source for Navi Mumbai, and the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation took over the dam in 2002.
