Abstract

The Morvan Dam is located in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, specifically in Morvan Village, which is part of Neemuch district in Jawad Tehsil. The dam is built on the Gambhiri River, which is a tributary of the Chambal River. It was mainly built to supply water for both irrigation and drinking purposes, and it provides water to 26 villages in the Neemach district. The dam is made of stone masonry and was constructed in 1960. Its coordinates are latitude 27° 37’ 06†N and longitude 75° 03’ 30†E. The length of the dam is 990 meters, and its width is 12 meters. The dam can hold a total of 16.46 million cubic meters of water. The maximum depth is 27.42 meters, while the average depth is 13 meters. This dam is very important for the villagers because it supplies drinking water, helps with farming through irrigation, and supports fish farming. It covers about 267,100 hectares of land that is used for irrigation. As development, industrialization, and population growth continue, the need for water is increasing significantly. Dams like the Morvan Dam are used by people and animals for drinking and also for raising fish. Because of this, it is important to monitor the water continuously to ensure its long-term sustainability and proper management.
