Vaitarna Dam, Gravity dam in Palghar district, Maharashtra, India
The Vaitarna Dam stretches across the Vaitarna River, utilizing concrete construction to retain water through its substantial mass and foundation resistance.
The dam was constructed during India's post-independence period as part of national water management initiatives to support regional development needs.
The reservoir area serves as a gathering place for local communities, who organize seasonal celebrations and traditional festivities near the water.
Located 55 kilometers from Mumbai, the dam provides essential water resources to the metropolitan region and supports irrigation for agricultural activities.
The dam's design incorporates specific structural elements that allow it to maintain stability independently in each section without relying on adjacent parts.
