We visited Omkareshwar temple and while on boating in the Narmada river, saw this huge dam close to the temple. Out of curiosity, I started reading on the project and found out that this dam is basically an irrigation focussed and hydroelectric power generating dam. I also explored there were many controversies around this project. It is amazing that Omkareshwar temple is situated not more than 1 km in the down stream of the river and further down in the downstream is the sangam if kaveri and narmada river
As name suggests Omkareshwar dam is constructed near Omkareshwar Temple. It is hydro power project generating electricity. It also provides irrigation water to the area nearby. It's a blessing to the people os Madhya pradesh. Water released from Omkareshwar dam is goes to Sardar Sarovar narmada dam of Gujarat. If you like my review please like it...
