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 km 3 (1,106 cu mi) and gross storage capacity is 215,880.00 km 3 (51,792.37 cu mi). [2] Due to silt deposition in the reservoir area, the storage capacity of the dam has gradually reduced.
This is a list of largest reservoirs in India, including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater or equal to 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3). In terms of number of dams, India ranks third after China, and USA.

The full reservoir level of Almatti dam was originally restricted to 160 feet MSL by the supreme court of India.The Krishna River conflict between Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra was resolved by the Brijesh Kumar Tribunal and the dam was authorized to be raised to the height of 524 feet MSL with nearly 200 TMC gross storage capacity.
Active capacity 1.00 cubic km (35.32 tmcft) Tenughat Dam ( Hindi : तेनूघाट बांध ) is an earthfill dam with composite masonry cum concrete spillway across the Damodar River at Tenughat in Petarwar block of Bokaro district in the Indian state of Jharkhand .
It provides irrigation to 1,230 square kilometres of land with annual production of 2.7 billion units in the districts of Khandwa and Khargone in Madhya Pradesh, and power generation of 1,000 MW (8x125 MW) installed capacity. In terms of storage of water, it is the largest reservoir in India, with capacity of 12.22 billion cu m or 12.2 km 3 ...
There is a possibility to utilize most of this idle dead storage capacity to store the river flood water further and to use as carry over storage. Nearly 150 TMC idle storage up to 380 feet (116 m) MSL, can be used leaving 30 TMC for silt settlement. This is possible by installing Water Powered Pump [24] (WPP) units at the base of the dam.
Lafitte declared his final verdict on 12 February 2007, [6] [7] in which he upheld some minor objections of Pakistan, requiring that pondage capacity be reduced by 13.5%, the height of dam be reduced by 1.5 meters, and power intake tunnels be raised by 3 meters, thereby limiting some flow control capabilities of the earlier design.
