Khadakwasla Dam is located on the Pawana River in the Pune district of Maharashtra, India. Constructed in 1969, it serves primarily for irrigation and water supply to the surrounding areas. The dam is an earth-fill structure, which means it is made from natural materials like soil and rock, providing stability and strength. The reservoir created by the dam is also a popular spot for recreational activities, including boating and picnicking. Additionally, the dam plays a crucial role in flood control and helps maintain the water levels in the Pune region, supporting both agriculture and urban needs.
