Palkhed Dam

Palkhed Dam is an important irrigation and water conservation project located near the city of Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, India. Completed in the 1960s, the dam is built on the Palkhed River and forms a reservoir that helps store water for agricultural use, particularly benefiting local farmers. The dam plays a crucial role in controlling river flow, preventing floods, and providing water for drinking and irrigation. In addition to its utilitarian purposes, the surrounding area can also offer recreational opportunities and support local wildlife. Its construction has positively impacted the regional economy and sustainability efforts.
