The '''Lal Bahadur Shastri Dam''' is also known as '''Almatti Dam''' is a hydroelectric project on the [[Krishna River]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.kgbo-cwc.ap.nic.in/About%20Basins/Krishna.pdf |title="Map of Krishna River basin" |access-date=30 January 2012 |archive-date=6 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170806181213/http://www.kgbo-cwc.ap.nic.in/About%20Basins/Krishna.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> in [[North Karnataka]], India which was completed in July 2005. The target annual electric output of the dam is 560 MU (or GWh).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.cea.nic.in/monthly_gen.html |title=CEA Monthly Generation Report |access-date=3 April 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403102231/http://cea.nic.in/monthly_gen.html |archive-date=3 April 2013 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

The Almatti Dam is the main reservoir of the [[Upper Krishna Irrigation Project]]; the 290 [[Watt#Megawatt|MW]] power station is located on the right side of the Almatti Dam. The facility uses vertical [[Kaplan turbine]]s: five 55MW generators and one 15MW generator. Water is released in to the [[Narayanpur Dam|Narayanpur reservoir]] after using for power generation to serve the downstream irrigation needs. Two separate facilities namely, Almatti 1 Powerhouse and Almatti II Powerhouse each separated by distance do provide power generation capabilities.

During the initial stages of the project, estimated costs were projected as [[Rupee|Rs.]]14.70 billion, but following the transfer of project's management to the [[Karnataka Power Corporation Limited]] (KPCL), the estimated cost was reduced by over fifty percent to Rs. 6.74 billion. KPCL eventually completed the project at an even lower cost of Rs. 5.20 billion.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} The entire dam was finished in less than forty months, with construction ending in July 2005.
The dam is located on the edge of [[Bijapur district, Karnataka|Bijapur]] and [[Bagalkot district|Bagalkot]] districts. Geographically, it is located in the Bijapur district,<ref name="resources">[http://waterresources.kar.nic.in/salient_features_ukp.htm Upper Krishna project] at Karnataka water resources website</ref> but large areas of Bagalkot district have also been submerged due to filling of the reservoir. The dam holds a gross water storage capacity of 123.08 [[Tmcft|TMC]] at 519 meters MSL.<ref name="resources" /><ref>{{cite web|title=How to Reach any City in India|url=http://www.howtoreach.info/2011/08/how-to-reach-almatti-dam-from-bangalore.html|work=howtoreach.info|publisher=Blogger|access-date=25 March 2012|author=Oasis|date=4 August 2011|archive-date=1 August 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801063413/http://www.howtoreach.info/2011/08/how-to-reach-almatti-dam-from-bangalore.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The backwaters of the dam host several migratory birds during summer.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Rozindar|first=Firoz|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/over-2000-flamingoes-found-in-almatti-backwaters-in-vijayapura-bagalkot/article27190679.ece|title=Over 2,000 flamingoes found in Almatti backwaters in Vijayapura-Bagalkot|date=2019-05-21|work=The Hindu|access-date=2020-02-23|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

==Height==
The full reservoir level of Almatti dam was originally restricted to 160 meters [[Sea level|MSL]] by the [[supreme court of India]]. The Krishna River conflict between [[Andhra Pradesh]], [[Karnataka]], and [[Maharashtra]] was resolved by the [[Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal|Brijesh Kumar Tribunal]] and the dam was authorized to be raised to the height of 524 meters MSL with nearly 200 TMC gross storage capacity.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Almatti_Dam_D04310 | title=wrpinfo | publisher="india-wris.nrsc.gov.in" | date=3 April 2018 | access-date=30 May 2018 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180425131601/http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Almatti_Dam_D04310 | archive-date=25 April 2018 | url-status=dead }}</ref>
26 different Radial spillway gates are housed in the Dam.
