The '''Maneri Dam''' is a concrete [[gravity dam]] on the [[Bhagirathi River]] located at [[Maneri, India|Maneri]], {{Convert|8.5|km}} east of [[Uttarkashi]] in [[Uttarkashi district]], [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. The primary purpose of the dam is to divert water into a tunnel which feeds the {{convert|90|MW}} [[run-of-the-river]] '''Tiloth Power Plant'''.

==Background==
The power station is stage one of the Maneri Bhali Hydroelectric Project which was planned in the 1960s. It was completed and commissioned in 1984.

==Design and operation==
The Maneri Dam is a {{Convert|39|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} tall and {{Convert|127|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} wide gravity dam with a structural volume of {{Convert|13700|m3|cuyd|0|abbr=on}}. It's [[spillway]] is located on its crest and is controlled by four [[tainter gate]]s. In addition to discharge tunnel, the spillway has a maximum discharge capacity of {{convert|5000|m3/s|ft3/s|0|abbr=on}}. The dam's [[reservoir]] has a {{convert|600000|m3|acre.ft|0|abbr=on}} capacity, of which {{convert|510000|m3|acre.ft|0|abbr=on}} is active (or "useful") capacity.<ref>{{cite web|title=India: National Register of Large Dams 2009 |url=http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20Dams%202009.pdf |publisher=Central Water Commission |accessdate=10 July 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721165130/http://www.cwc.nic.in/main/downloads/National%20Register%20of%20Large%20Dams%202009.pdf |archivedate=21 July 2011 }}</ref> Water supplied to the power station is first diverted from the Bhagirathi River by the dam into a {{convert|8.6|km|abbr=on}} long tunnel directly behind the dam. The difference in elevation between the barrage and the power station affords a design [[hydraulic head]] of {{convert|147.5|m|abbr=on}} and gross head of {{convert|180|m|abbr=on}}. Near the Tiloth Power Plant, the tunnel splits into three [[penstock]]s to power each of the three 30 MW [[Francis turbine]]-generators before being discharged back into the river. The design discharge of the power station is {{convert|71.4|m3/s|ft3/s|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=Maneri Bhali Stage-I (Tiloth) Power Plant (3x30=90 MW) |url=http://www.uttarakhandjalvidyut.com/tiloth.htm |publisher=Uttarakhand Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited |accessdate=12 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120112083248/http://www.uttarakhandjalvidyut.com/tiloth.htm |archive-date=12 January 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
