The earth dam of the Beas project was the first high earth dam to be designed and constructed in India. It is 132.6 m high, with a gravel shell, and impounds 8570*106m3 of water. The powerhouse has a present installed capacity of 240 MW, with provision for two more 60 MW units at a later stage. This outlines the various factors which influenced the design of the dam, and compares them with those of two similar structures, the Ramganga in India and the Mangla in Pakistan.
