History and introduction

The construction of Pahari Dam Project envisages replacement of the existing Pahari weir having falling shutters arrangement with a gated spillway on river Dhasan in Mauranipur Tehsil of Distt. Jhansi (U.P.) .The exiting Pahari weir was constructed in the year 1910-1920 irrigation water to Dhasan Canal System. This is an old seasonary structure and is unsafe according to modern desing concepts. The existing falling shutters arrangement create operational problems during flood period. Hence the existing weir needs immediate replacement in view of the in creasing demand of irrigation water. So, a new dam is proposed 75M d/s of existing weir on Dhasan river.
