Damodar River (Pron: /ˈdʌmoˌdaː/) is a river flowing across the Indian states of Jharkhand and West Bengal. The valley is rich in mineral resources and is known for large-scale mining and industrial activity. It was also known as the Sorrow of Bengal [2] because of the ravaging floods it caused in the plains of West Bengal.
There is a confluence of two rivers near Bathinda Falls. The Katari River originates from Parasnath and flows from north to south reaching Munidih. Damodar river comes from the east. Two rivers meet near the falls. [2] Here the rocks are inclined at an angle of 12 degrees to the river current.
Tilaiya Dam was built across the Barakar River, a tributary of the Damodar River, about 130 miles (210 km) above the point of confluence. [3] It is only 64.4 kilometres (40.0 mi) from its source. At the point where the dam has been built, the river passes through a narrow gorge , with hills rising steeply on both the sides.
The 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long, 55 metres (180 ft) high earthfill embankment dam with composite masonry cum concrete spillway and under-sluice structures, concrete diaphragm cut-off wall, rock excavation in foundation, diversion channel, coffer dam and appurtenant works at Tenughat was built for supply of water to Bokaro Steel Plant and the Bokaro industrial area.
