Specifications
The height of the dam above lowest foundation is 36.59 m (120.0 ft) while the length is 3,902 m (12,802 ft). The volume content is 4,612 km3 (1,106 cu mi) and gross storage capacity is 215,880.00 km3 (51,792.37 cu mi).[2]
Due to silt deposition in the reservoir area, the storage capacity of the dam has gradually reduced. The right side canal running towards Nashik is also closed due to the high civilization in the area. For these two reasons, an upstream dam, Kashypi Dam, is constructed which opened in 2000 [3]
Purpose
one of the earthen dam having emergency spillway[citation needed]

Pollution concerns, River basin's sustainable productivity & ecology |
- Algal bloom in reservoirs
- High alkalinity of river water in the river basin upstream of Pochampadu dam
- Frequent floods in tail end area of the river basin
- Alkali salts / high pH water run off from ash / red mud dumps of coal fired power stations / bauxite ore enrichment
- Excessive silting of reservoirs due to deforestation and mining activities
