Tag Bhakra Nangal Dam.

The choice of Bhakra as the dam site was a product of both rigorous scientific analysis and remarkable natural advantages. The location features a narrow gorge on the Sutlej River, approximately 518.25 meters Long and 9.1 Meter Wide, bounded by massive, stable sandstone formations of the Lower Himalayas. This natural constriction provided an ideal foundation for a high concrete gravity dam, capable of efficiently resisting the immense hydrostatic pressure of the reservoir.
