Idukki Arch Dam
The Idukki Arch Dam is an engineering marvel located in the Idukki district of Kerala. Standing majestically at a height of 168.91 meters (554 feet), it is one of the tallest arch dams in Asia. This double curvature parabolic thin arch dam, constructed across the Periyar River, is flanked by the dramatic Kuravan and Kurathi hills.
Built as a part of the Idukki Hydroelectric Project, which contributes significantly to Kerala's power supply, the Idukki Arch Dam's construction began in 1969 and was completed in 1973. Its structure is designed to efficiently handle the massive water pressure, with the water stored in the reservoir primarily used for hydroelectric power generation.
