Panchet Dam :
Panchet Dam was the last of the four multi-purpose dams included in the first phase of the Damodar Valley Corporation.
It was constructed across the Damodar River at Panchet in Dhanbad district in the Indian state of Jharkhand, and opened in 1959.
The first dam was built across the Barakar River at Tilaiya and inaugurated in 1953. Two years later, in 1955, the second dam across the Konar River was inaugurated.
The third dam across the Barakar at Maithon was inaugurated in 1957, and the fourth dam across the Damodar at Panchet was inaugurated in 1959.Panchet Dam is an earthen dam with concrete spillway.
The reservoir taps a catchment area of 10,961 square kilometres (4,232 sq mi).
The average annual basin precipitation is 114 centimetres (45 in) and average annual run off is 4540 million m3.
At the dam site the maximum observed flood (June 1949) was 8558 m³/s. For the project the spillway design flood that was adopted was 17853 m³/s. Two units of 40 MW have been installed for power generation.
The four DVC dams are capable of moderating floods of 651,000 cu ft/s (18,400 m3/s) to 250,000 cu ft/s (7,100 m3/s).
The Panchet Dam has a storage capacity of 170.37 million m3 to dead storage and 1497.54 m3 to top of gates. The reservoir covers an area of 27.92 km2 at dead storage level, 121.81 km2 at maximum conservation pool and 153.38 km2 at top of gates.
