The Bhakra Reservoir is a large water storage facility located in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is formed by the Bhakra Dam, which is built on the Sutlej River. The reservoir plays a crucial role in irrigation, providing water to agricultural lands in the surrounding regions, particularly in Punjab and Haryana. Constructed in the late 1950s, the Bhakra Reservoir is one of the highest gravity dams in the world. It not only helps in irrigation but also generates hydroelectric power, contributing to the energy needs of northern India. The reservoir is a vital resource for managing water supply and supporting local economies.
