Tehri Dam, Uttarakhand

The dam reservoir, also known as Tehri Lake, is usually flocked with tourists interested in boating and is slowly becoming a prominent hub for adventure tourism in Uttarakhand. The Tehri dam, in the north of India, was commissioned in 2006 to provide water for electricity generation, irrigation, and drinking water. It has a sediment trap efficiency of 95 percent and was designed to offset 150 years of sedimentation. Watershed management is the principal measure in use for reducing the sediment inflow into the Tehri reservoir. The Tehri hydroelectric power complex, located in the Himalayan foothills, is owned and operated by the Tehri Hydro Development Corporation, a joint venture by the government of India and the government of Uttar Pradesh. #MyTravelStory2
