Pandoh Dam :-

Pandoh Dam is an embankment dam on the Beas River in Mandi district of Himachal
Pradesh, India. Under the Beas Project, the dam was completed in 1977 and its
primary purpose is hydroelectric power generation. Part of a run-of-the-river power
scheme, it diverts the waters of the Beas to the southwest through a 38 km (24 mi)
long system of tunnels and channels. The water is used for power generation at
the Dehar Power House before being discharged into the Sutlej River, connecting
both rivers. The power house has an
installed capacity of 990 MW. The
system diverts 256 (9000 cusecs) of
Beas waters to the Satluj River. The
project was completed in 1977.
