Almatti Dam, Bijapur

August 27, 2013 by Jolad Rotti

The Almatti Dam is in a Bijapur, a small town Northern Karnataka,  and is built across the Krishna river. The construction was done in 2005, so it is a relatively new dam. It is the main reservoir of the Upper Krishna Irrigation Project and it uses Kaplan Turbines.

Water is released into the Narayanpur reservoir once it uses it for power generation and serves the irrigation requirements.  The height was increased by 10 meters in this dam after the Supreme Court ordered to do so.
