Gangapur Dam, is an earthfill dam on Godavari River near Nashik in the state of Maharashtra in India.
The height of the dam above lowest foundation is 36.59m (120.05feet) while the length is 3902m (12,802feet). The volume content is 4612km3 and gross storage capacity is 215880km3.[2]
Due to silt deposition in the reservoir area, the storage capacity of the dam has gradually reduced. The right side canal running towards Nashik is also closed due to the high civilization in the area. For these two reasons, an upstream dam, Kashypi Dam, is constructed which opened in 2000 [3]
