Hirakud Dam is built across the Mahanadi River,
about 15 km from Sambalpur in the state of ODISHA, in India. Built in 1957, the
dam is one of the world's longest earthen dams. Hirakud Dam is the longest
man-made dam in the world, about 16 mi (26 km) in length. It is one of the
first major multipurpose river valley project started after India's
independence.
