The Baglihar Dam is a dam with a large hydroelectric power station on the Chanab River in India in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir .
location
The dam is located near the town of Batote in the Himalayas and 150 km from Jammu in the Doda district .
Barrier structure and reservoir
The barrier structure is a concrete gravity dam . It has a height of 143 m above the foundation. The crown length is almost 363 m. The dam volume is 2,344,000 m³.
The reservoir covers an area of 8.079 km². The effective storage volume is 15 million m³, the total storage space is 475 million m³.
Hydroelectric power plant
The dam was built mainly for the purpose of generating electricity. The hydropower plant will generate a total output of 450 MW in the initial expansion with three turbines of 150 megawatts each. Another 450 MW are planned later.
construction
The project was planned by Lahmeyer International on behalf of Jammu & Kashmir State Power Development Corporation (JKPDC) in Srinagar . During the construction of the Baglihar Dam, there were two landslides through which the diversion tunnel for water drainage during the construction period was buried. Therefore, the water rose on the half-finished dam and flooded the construction site, so that no further work could be done. A new tunnel had to be built through the dam from the air side in order to drain off the water. Only then could the structure be completed.
Due to the proximity to Pakistan , agreements with the neighboring country were necessary for the construction.
