tehri lake and tehri dam

The Tehri Lake is Asia’s largest manmade lake, which is 260 meters deep. It is a manmade reservoir built
at the back of the tallest dam in India at a height of 261 meter and the Fourth tallest dam in the world.
The dam creates a reservoir of 2.6 cubic kilometers with a surface area of 52 square kilometers. The
Lake has tremendous potential to become a National hub for eco-tourism and adventure tourism
including water sports activities.

Tehri was a small town situated on the confluence of Bhagirathi and Bhilangna Rivers in Uttarakhand.
This town got submerged in the water to create a large catchment area and this way the town of Old
Tehri became The Tehri Lake, Asia’s largest man-made lake. The town of Tehri was evacuated to make
space for the Tehri dam, and the population has been shifted to the town of New Tehri. It is a planned
new town situated at a height of about 1550 m above sea level.
