BANSAGAR DAM
Rimar, Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh, India
The Bansagar Dam across Sone River is situated in the Ganges Basin in Madhya Pradesh at village Deolond in Shahdol. Bansagar Dam is constructed on Sone River at the confluence of Sone and Banas River for irrigation facility and also provides power generation of 425 MW in Madhya Pradesh. The project was initially called the "Dimba Project" in 1956 by the Central Water Commission, New Delhi to be constructed on the Sone River at the confluence of the Sone and Banas Rivers near Shikarganj town 30 KM down river from the present site. Later it was shifted to the present site at Deolond.

The 4 million-acre-feet of water is also shared by the states in the same ratio.
