Hirakud Dam
The Hirakud Dam is one of the longest earthen dams in the world, stretching over 25.8 kilometers across the Mahanadi River near Sambalpur, Odisha. Constructed between 1946 and 1957, the dam was a significant project initiated after India's independence. It serves multiple purposes, including irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and flood control.
The dam creates the Hirakud Reservoir, which is one of the largest artificial lakes in Asia, covering an area of 743 square kilometers. The reservoir is a popular spot for bird watching and offers scenic views, especially from the Gandhi Minar and Nehru Minar, which provide panoramic views of the dam and the surrounding area.
