Sarda Dam
Sarda Dam is a dam located on the Sarda River in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is an important structure for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation in the region.
History[edit | edit source]
The construction of the Sarda Dam began in the early 20th century and was completed in 1926. The dam was built to harness the waters of the Sarda River for irrigation purposes, which was crucial for the agricultural development of the region.
Structure[edit | edit source]
The Sarda Dam is a gravity dam, which means it relies on its weight to hold back the water. The dam is constructed from concrete and masonry, making it a robust and durable structure. The height of the dam is approximately 30 meters, and it has a length of about 650 meters.
Purpose[edit | edit source]
The primary purpose of the Sarda Dam is to provide irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural lands. The dam helps in the irrigation of thousands of hectares of farmland, significantly boosting the agricultural productivity of the region. Additionally, the dam also supports hydroelectric power generation, contributing to the local power supply.
Hydroelectric Power[edit | edit source]
The Sarda Dam has a hydroelectric power station that generates electricity by utilizing the flow of water from the dam. The power station has a capacity of generating several megawatts of electricity, which is supplied to the nearby areas.
Environmental Impact[edit | edit source]
The construction of the Sarda Dam has had both positive and negative environmental impacts. On the positive side, the dam has facilitated irrigation and power generation, which have contributed to the economic development of the region. However, the dam has also led to the displacement of local communities and changes in the local ecosystem.
