	The '''Dakpathar Barrage''' is a concrete [[Barrage (dam)\|barrage]] across the [[Yamuna River]] adjacent to [[Dakpathar]] in [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. In a [[run-of-the-river]] scheme, the barrage serves to divert water into the East Yamuna Canal for hydroelectric power production at the Dhakrani and Dhalipur Power Plants. The foundation stone for the dam was laid on 23 May 1949 by India's Prime Minister [[Jawaharlal Nehru]].<ref>{{cite book\|title=The National geographical journal of India, Volume 2\|year=1956\|publisher=National Geographical Society of India\|pages=66\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AhUsAAAAMAAJ&q=Dak+Pathar}}</ref> ~~The project was delayed due to funding and both power stations were commissioned in 1965.~~ The barrage is controlled by 25 floodgates and has a length of {{Convert\|516.5\|m\|ft\|0\|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite book\|last=Haberman\|first=David L.\|title=River of love in an age of pollution : the Yamuna River of Northern India\|year=2006\|publisher=University of California press\|location=Berkeley (Calif.)\|isbn=0-520-24789-2\|pages=65\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=63uDsPPr48gC&q=dakpathar+barrage}}</ref>		The '''Dakpathar Barrage''' is a concrete [[Barrage (dam)\|barrage]] across the [[Yamuna River]] adjacent to [[Dakpathar]] in [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]].
