Impacts of Koyna Dam, India
The Koyna Dam, which was built across and is named after the river Koyna, was undertaken for the primary purpose of hydropower generation by Maharashtra state as part of the upsurge in nation building activities after India’s independence. The dam has become a symbol of achievements in water resources development during the last five decades. It is the upstream most dam in the Krishna River Basin, 103 m in height, storing close to 2.8 billion cubic metres (BCM) of water in a reservoir with a spread of over 115 km2, near the Sahyadri Range which serves as a Continental Divide that is over 1000 m high at the head of the major peninsular Krishna River Basin.
