The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a major concrete gravity dam constructed on the Narmada River near the village of Kevadia in the Narmada district of Gujarat, India. It is the largest dam in the Narmada Valley Project and is designed to provide irrigation and hydroelectric power to the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan.
The Sardar Sarovar Dam is a major concrete gravity dam constructed on the Narmada River near the village of Kevadia in the Narmada district of Gujarat, India. It is the largest dam in the Narmada Valley Project and is designed to provide irrigation and hydroelectric power to the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan.
P=ηρgQH — Theoretical power output of the hydro plant
Fg=m⋅g — Gravitational force stabilizing the dam structure
The dam operates on the principle of potential energy storage and gravitational stability. Water is impounded in the reservoir created by the concrete gravity structure, and this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy via penstocks that drive large Francis turbines located in the underground powerhouse, facilitating the generation of hydroelectricity.
Sardar Sarovar Dam is a concrete gravity dam.
It is located in the Narmada district, Gujarat.
The project provides drinking water, irrigation, and power.
It is one of the world's largest dams by volume of concrete.
Large-scale hydroelectric power generation
Extensive irrigation coverage for drought-prone regions
Environmental concerns regarding ecological displacement
Large-scale rehabilitation requirements for affected populations
Hydroelectric power production
Irrigation water supply
Flood control in the Narmada basin
The Narmada River is the fifth-longest river in India.
Option B (Surat) and D (Bharuch) are cities located downstream of the dam near the mouth of the Narmada river, not the location of the dam itself.
Option C (Tapi) refers to a different river system.
A is correct — The Sardar Sarovar Dam is situated on the Narmada River in the state of Gujarat.
Always distinguish between the river basin, the district name, and the geographical coordinates when answering geography-related engineering questions.
