Tehri Dam

Tehri Dam is a large concrete and rock dam built on the Bhagirathi River in India. It creates a vast reservoir, storing water primarily for hydroelectric power, irrigation, and flood control. The dam is about 260 meters high, making it one of the tallest in India, and generates a significant amount of electricity. It also helps manage water resources for nearby regions. The dam’s construction faced environmental and social challenges, including relocation of local communities. Overall, Tehri Dam is a critical infrastructure project that supports sustainable energy production and water management in northern India.
