Baglihar Dam

The Baglihar Dam is a hydroelectric project built on the Chenab River in India’s Jammu and Kashmir region. Its main purpose is to generate electricity by using the river's water to turn turbines. The dam also helps with flood control and water management. Constructed to benefit regional energy needs, it has been a point of dispute between India and Pakistan, as both countries share the waters of the Chenab River. International arbitration was involved to resolve disagreements. Overall, the dam plays a significant role in regional development and water resource management.
