India's Engineering Marvels #2 - A Himalayan Megastructure

[Levina]

archs dams work well in Plain and plateaus where you need force in water. Himalayan rivers are already in run with high velocity, arch dams are risky. Agey jo Ram chahey.

I told you earlier too that arch dams are for canyon,gorges and mountaineous areas.But somehow you just wont budge.

Karcham Wangtoo Hydel Power Project which was handled by Jaypee Group, has sold its two hydro power projects in Kinnaur district to a consortium led by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA), the international energy and water company from Abu Dhabi, for Rs 10500 crore.
And it made headlines here few days.I am wondering if its going to be our next arch dam??The terrain is such that an arch dam would have been ideal.

The deal has been cancelled - UAE's TAQA says pulls out of $1.6bn India power deal - ArabianBusiness.com - The dam is Indian again
