It's objectives are

1. To provide water for irrigation.

2. Generation of hydroelectric power.

3. To provide water for cooling purpose
to the various industrial units.

4. To provide domestic water supply.

Units

1. Dam

2. Canal

3. Power Plant

The construction work of all the three units was completed in four stages. In the first stage the Hasdeo Bango barrage near Korba city and the 4 km long left Bank main canal

were constructed. In the second stage, the right bank main canal system was constructed. The main Dam, construction of water treatment plant and extension of right and left bank main canal system were completed. In the third stage, the remaining work of completion of left bank main canal system and Canal distributaries net work was done in the forth stage. The complete project cost was around Rs.693 crores.

Bango Dam

Location

North Latitude : 22⁰36'

East Longitude : 82⁰36'

The main dam, which is situated 42 kms away from the district headquarter. The Dam has 11 gates, out of which 10 are operational. The dimension of Each gates are 15 x 14.2 meters. The length of the main Dam is 554.5 meter which constitutes

Spill way	:	203.5 Mtr.
Hydro-Electric Dam	:	055.5 Mtr.
Non-over flow Dam	:	295.5 Mtr.
Total	:	554.5 Mtr.

The total length of the dam is 2509.05 Mtrs. The left side of the Main Dam there is one rock filled dam, which has 177 Mtrs long and the right side have an earthen dam of 27 Mtrs height and 1778 Mtrs long

Other Details
Catchment Area	6730 Sq.Km.

Maximum height of Dam	366.00 Mtr.
Maximum water level	363.08 Mtr.
Minimum water level	329.79 Mtr.
Full Reservoir level	359.66 Mtr.
Spill water level	345.66 Mtr.

Area's average rainfall	1500mm (Max.1920mm.,Min.940mm)

HASDEO BARRAGE

Hasdeo Barrage is situated 12 kms away from the District Head Quarter. It was constructed in 1967. Total cost was Rs.10.14 crores.

POWER PLANT

A Hydel Power Plant of capacity 120 MW has been commissioned on the Bango Dam at a cost of Rs.77 crore

CANALS

The main part of this project is the canals, which can irrigate about 2 lakhs and 55 thousand hectare of land. For this two canal systems are being constructed, which branch out from the Hasdeo Barrage at Darri.

	Left Bank Canal	Right Bank Canal
Max. Flow	138 M3/Sec.	117 M3/sec.
Length	50 KM.	48 KM.
Branch canals	Champa Branch - 51 KM. Sakti Branch - 32 KM. Kharsia - 42 KM.	Janjgir Branch - 22 KM. Akaltra Branch - 42 KM.
Irrigated Area	1,38,000 Hectare	1,17,000 Hectare

In this way an area of 2 lakhs, 55 thousand hectare of land can be irrigated and excess about 17.70 lakhs MT. food grains can be produced from these 287 KM. long canals. If the maximum capacity of these canals is utilized, an area of 4,33,500 hectare of land can be irrigated.

ESTIMATED BENEFITS FROM THIS PROJECT

1. Generation of 120 MW Electricity.

2. Irrigation of 2,55,000 Hectare of land of production of 17.7 Lakh MT. food grains per year.

3. Supply of water for cooling requirements of 4,000 MW capacity Power Station(530 Million M3) other uses and water for domestic purpose (10 Million M3).

4. 118 MT. Production of fish.
