Panchet Dam is a large concrete and earthen structure built on the Damodar River in India, primarily used for hydroelectric power generation and water management. It helps control flooding, supplies water for irrigation, and produces electricity through its turbines. Located in Jharkhand, the dam is part of a broader project to harness river resources sustainably, supporting regional development. Its construction involved significant engineering efforts to ensure safety and efficiency, providing benefits like flood control and energy production, while also supporting agriculture and local communities.
