Hirakud Dam(Oriya:) is built across theMahanadi River,about 15 km from

Sambalpurin the state ofOdishainIndia.Built in 1957, the dam is one of the world's longest

earthen dam.[2]

Behind the dam extends a lake, Hirakud Reservoir, 55 km long. Hirakud Dam is

the longest man-made dam in the world, about 16 mi (26 km) in length. It is one of the firstmajor multipurpose river valley project started after India's independence. The name of the dam

is mostly mis-pronounced in North India as Hirakund which is actually Hirakud.

[edit] Construction history

Before the devastating floods of 1937, SirM. Visveswararyaproposed a detailed investigation

for storage reservoirs in the Mahanadi basin to tackle the problem of floods in the Mahanadidelta. In 1945, under the chairmanship of Dr.B. R. Ambedkar,the then Member of Labour, it

was decided to invest in the potential benefits of controlling the Mahanadi for multi-purpose use.The Central Waterways, Irrigation and Navigation Commission took up the work.

[3]

On 15 Mar 1946, Sir Howthrone Lewis, the then Governor of Orissa, laid the foundation stone of

the Hirakud Dam. A project report was submitted to the government in June 1947. PanditJawaharlal Nehrulaid the first batch of concrete on 12 April 1948. The dam was completed in

1953 and was formally inaugurated by Prime MinisterJawaharlal Nehruon 13 January 1957.

The total cost of the project was Rs. 100.02croresin 1957. Power generation along with

agricultural irrigation started in 1956, achieving full potential in 1966.[3]

Left Dyke of Hirakud Dam

In the upper drainage basin of the Mahanadi River, centered on theChattisgarhPlain, periodic

droughts contrast with the situation in the lower delta region where floods may damage crops.The dam was constructed to help alleviate these problems by creating a reservoir and controlling

river flow through the drainage system.[4]

The dam regulates the flow of the Mahanadi River and

produces hydroelectricity through several hydroelectric plants.[5]

The dam helps control floods in the Mahanadi delta and irrigates 75,000 square kilometres of

land. Hydroelectricity is also generated. The Hirakud Dam regulates 83,400 km (32,200 mi) ofMahanadi's drainage. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 5.818 km with gross of 8.136

km.[3]

It drains an area of 133,090 km, more than twice the area ofSri Lanka.The amount of earth,

concrete and masonry materials used to build the dam is sufficient to make a road 8 metres wide

and pave it fromKanyakumaritoKashmirand fromAmritsartoDibrugarhinAssam.With

successful irrigation provided by the dam, Sambalpur is called the rice bowl ofOrissa.Herephotography is strictly prohibited.

The project provides 1,556 km ofkharifand 1,084 km ofrabiirrigation in districts of

Sambalpur,Bargarh,Bolangir,and Subarnpur. The water released by the power plant irrigates

another 4360 km ofCCAin Mahanadi delta. The dam can generate up to 307.5 MW of

electrical power through its two power plants at Burla, on the dam's right bank and Chiplima, 22km downstream from the dam. In addition, the project provides flood protection to 9500 km of

delta area in district ofCuttackandPuri.

Chiplima has gained prominence as the second hydroelectric project of the Hirakud Dam. A

natural fall of 80 to 120 feet (25 to 40 m) in the river Mahanadi is used to generate electricity.

The place is mostly inhabited by fisherman, whose deity ghanteswari is very popular in the

neighbouring area. The State Livestock Breeding Farm and Agricultural Farm are located here.

[edit] People affected by the dam construction

The main purpose of the Hirakud Dam was to check the massive flood that was effecting a large

part of coastal Orissa. But construction of the dam greatly affected the native of western part of

Orissa. Nearly 150,000 people were affected by the Hirakud project. Nearly 22,000 familieswere displaced by the dam project.

In the original estimate, an amount of Rs 12 crores was provided for payment of compensation to

the affected people. After revision, the amount was reduced to Rs 9.5 crores and the total

compensation paid to the people was, in reality, only Rs 3.32 crores. A large number of familieswere evacuated from their hearth and homes without compensation from 1956 onwards.

[6]

[edit] Cattle Island

One of the many islands within Hirakud Reservoir

Cattle Island is located in one of the extreme points of Hirakud Reservoir, a natural wonder.Completely inhabited by wildcattle,without any trace of humans. It is near Kumarbandh village

of Belpahar-Banharpali range which is about 90 km fromSambalpur.It can be reached bylaunchfrom Hirakud Dam, it is closer by 10 km via the river. The island is a submerged hill, and before

the construction of Hirakud Dam it was a developed village. During the resettlement period,

villagers left some of their cattle behind; when the dam construction was over, the cattle settled

on the hilltop. With the passage of time the nearby area filled up with the reservoir water, turningthe hilltop into an island. Being away from mankind, the cattle are now wild, very swift and not

easily caught. Living on a hilltop with dense forest, they are larger than tame cattle, almost all of

which are white in colour. Nearby residents attempt to capture these animals from time to time,

but these hunts are rarely successful. Though descended from tame cattle, these animals provide

a contrasting picture of this breed of animal returning to life in the wild.[7]

[edit] Wildlife

The dam with the channel provides an ideal environment for the wildlife. The Debrigarh wildlife

sanctuary is located here.[8]

Several species of migratory birds visit the reservoir during winter.Nearly 20-25 species of birds are seen in the reservoir and common among them areCommon

Pochard,Red-crested Pochard,Great Crested Grebeand several others.[9]
