==Overview==
[[File:Damodar Map.jpg|thumb|300px|Damodar Basin]]
The Damodar River Valley Project on the Damodar River and its principal tributary, the [[Barakar River]], is located in eastern India. The four main multipurpose dams located at [[Tilaiya]], [[Konar Dam|Konar]], [[Maithon]] and [[Panchet]] were commissioned during 1953–1959. In addition, a single purpose reservoir on the main stream, the Damodar, at Tenughat (with live storage 224 million m3 and without provision for flood storage) was constructed later in 1974.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://iahs.info/redbooks/a230/iahs_230_0095.pdf | title = Regulation of a multipurpose reservoir system: Damodar Valley, India |author1=Debasri Roy |author2=Sandip Mukherjee |author3=Balaram Bose | access-date = 2010-06-08 }}</ref> While the four earlier dams are controlled by [[Damodar Valley Corporation]], Tenughat Dam is controlled by the Government of Jharkhand.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.apfm.info/publications/casestudies/cs_india_full.pdf | title = Integrated Flood Management Case Study1 India: Flood Management – Damodar River Basin |publisher = World Meteorological Organization | access-date = 2010-06-08 }}</ref>
