Gandhi Sagar Dam
The Gandhi Sagar Dam is a significant dam located on the Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan border in India. Constructed on the Chambal River, it was completed in 1960 and is part of the Chambal Valley Project. The dam serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control.
The reservoir created by the dam, known as the Gandhi Sagar Lake, is one of the largest in the region. It supports local agriculture by providing water for irrigation and helps in generating electricity through its hydroelectric power station. The dam also plays a vital role in maintaining ecological balance in the area.
