The Teesta Low Dam - III highlights the river's role in India-Bangladesh water-sharing disputes, affecting regional energy and security dynamics. The construction of India's Gazoldoba Barrage, upstream of the Tista Barrage in Bangladesh, has significantly impacted water flow and intensified the Teesta Water Dispute between the two nations.
The river is flanked by white sand which is used by the construction industry in the region. Large boulders in and around the waters make it ideal for rafting. During the monsoon, Teesta River distends its banks, both in size and turbulence. Landslides in this region often dam up parts of the river in this season. It has also caused severe ...
The project consists of a 32 m high dam with 4 penstocks of 44 m length and 7 m diameter each. The surface power house with installed capacity of 132 MW houses 4 units of 33 MW capacity each designed to operate under the net rated head of 21.34 M and designed to generate 594.07 million units in a 90% dependable year with 95% machine availability.
Parker Dam on the Colorado River is a constant-angle arch dam. A similar type is the double-curvature or thin-shell dam. Wildhorse Dam near Mountain City, Nevada, in the United States is an example of the type. This method of construction minimizes the amount of concrete necessary for construction but transmits large loads to the foundation and ...
Indonesia's second largest river after the Kapuas.

Castaic is an earth-fill dam with its surfaces covered with boulders and cobble-sized rocks to prevent erosion.The dam is 340 feet (100 m) high above the streambed, 425 feet (130 m) above the foundations, and 5,200 feet (1,600 m) long, containing 44 million cubic yards (34,000,000 m 3) of material.

The Isleta Diversion Dam is a structure on the Rio Grande in the Albuquerque Basin near Isleta Village Proper, New Mexico, United States, that diverts water from the river into irrigation canals. There have been some negative environmental impacts due to changes in the river flow that affect the native fish and drying of the riverside land.
The first dam to be completed under the treaty was Falcon Dam in 1953. [5] After the Rio Grande flooded massively in 1954, with a peak flow of 1,158,000 cubic feet per second (32,800 m 3 /s) recorded at Del Rio, [6] planners realized that a much larger dam would be needed to control the river and two unregulated tributaries, the Pecos and ...
