Upper Wardha Dam, Gravity dam on Wardha River in Maharashtra, India
The Upper Wardha Dam stretches 5,920 meters across the Wardha River, with a spillway height of 46.2 meters and an earth dam section of 36.62 meters.
The dam project displaced 3,000 families from 24 villages during its construction, leading to rehabilitation programs and negotiations for fishing rights in the reservoir.
The reservoir bears the name Nala Damayanti Sagar, referencing the protagonists of a traditional Hindu love narrative.
The dam supplies water to Amravati city and surrounding regions, maintains irrigation systems for crops including cotton, soybeans, and oranges in black soil areas.
The automated spillway gate system manages excess water during monsoon floods when the region receives an average rainfall of 840 millimeters annually.
