Thanks for this informative share. Nice photos. Although could not find a photo of water fall. Maybe you were away from it so haven’t taken a picture. Or I think this is just an irrigation barrage system with no power generating system. Have a great Sunday

Hello @GhazalaShah

These days the dam is under cleaning so some gates of dam closed due to this the water flows at a low rate in dam and you are right the dam is for irrigation and to supply water to nearby villages:)

Great post, as usual; lot of good details, also for documentation purpose; {but - just for your information, remember, usually, the technical details will not be enjoyed by LGs in this forum}.

Best of luck, thanks for tagging me.

Liked the photos & KUDOed it individually.

Hi @IshantHP_ig ,

Thanks for sharing and wow, indeed a really detailed post!

I really like how many details are designed for the public safety and accessibility. : ]

We really appreciate the detailed research, however, there is some side notes, you may consider. I partly agree with @TravellerG , as the numeric details would indeed require an external source. Unfortunately, it may infringe the Local Guides Rules.

I would totally suggest you to check the post How do I follow the original content guidelines on Connect?, as it may easy up to clarify any confusions. : ]

Follow up to that, please make sure to have the regarded information taken care of, at your convenience.

[TravellerG]

Dear @IshantHP_ig ; expecting permission from our dear @sonnyNg , I would love to expand a bit:

If you are taking such (numerical or similar) data from Wiki (or an authentic open/public source), specifically referring the source, you can publish/post it - Am I right dear @sonnyNg ?

[IshantHP_ig]

Hello @TravellerG

I belongs to technical background of Mechanical Engineering so these details matters a lot for me. I hope by giving the details other local guides can take an idea about dam construction and safety

And thanks for reminding me about adding source;)

[IshantHP_ig]

Hello @sonnyNg

As i mention the technical details in my post because we can not change the values.

[sonnyNg]

Thank you for clarifying, @IshantHP_ig and for the further inquiry, @TravellerG .

If the regarded information is indeed vital for the post itself, as in this case the exact specifications, it may perhaps stay.

Leaving the source would also not be a bad idea, as TravellerG suggested. : ]
