  • Why is India spending billions to build a massive barrier on the Godavari River? Known as the Polavaram Project, this $6BN engineering marvel is designed to solve critical issues in water management, irrigation, and energy supply. Stretching over 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles), the Polavaram Dam is one of the longest dams in the world and a transformative project for the state of Andhra Pradesh and beyond.
    In this video, we dive deep into the history, construction, and impact of the Polavaram Project. From its initial concept in 1941 to the modern engineering feats it showcases today, we’ll explore how this massive barrier aims to irrigate over 719,000 acres of farmland, generate 960 MW of clean energy, and revolutionize water management in southern India. But with challenges like the displacement of thousands of families, ecological concerns, and political hurdles, the project’s journey has been anything but smooth.
    Join us as we compare Polavaram to other iconic water projects, like the Hoover Dam and China’s Three Gorges Dam, and uncover what makes this project so significant.
    What do you think? Will the Polavaram Dam finally become a reality in the next five years? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

      Try to get the pronunciation of Polavaram right as it has been mentioned more than 50 times I guess, in the most annoying way (disrespectful of the name and culture). Same goes for Godavari. Few minutes with the locals, coming down from the ivory towers, would have helped (and given a hint of the long history of the land and how it got the name too).

      What I understand as definition of relocation is give them compensation for their land, provide them good govt funded building that should at least last 20 years.
      The building should be made with good materials so it doesnt rot itself in 5 years.
      This is not 15th century where we can neglect people's need because we dont have resources or innovative solutions.
      People always comes first. If you are saying lets move these 2000 people, so 1 lakh people could get better life, but you ruined 2000 people's lives.
      We dont need to be in moral dilemma. Govt has the funding. All they have to do is be honest and do the work honestly. But we all know there is nothing like that in this world. The contractor gets the money to complete project by any means, doesnt matter who suffers, whose land they occupied forcefully.

    The Laguna Dam in Yuma was the first dam constructed on the Colorado River in the early 1900s. The US engineers travelled to India for design ideas given the unstable soil conditions and knowing India's engineers had successfully tackled a similar situation. In the end, they used the design present in India's Okla Weir across the Jumna River.

      The dam being built for $6 billion generates half the electricity of Hoover, and stores 1/20th the water. The average wage for construction in India is $2/hr., generously. In the US, $90, with benefits.
      This is also done with disasters of the past. Many, if they occurred today, would easily be trillion-dollar events - but standard inflation calculators are used, instead. This is done with purpose. It confirms recency bias in people. Take the 1927 Mississippi flood:
      The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States, with 27,000 square miles inundated in depths of up to 30 feet over the course of several months in early 1927. The cost of the damage has been estimated to be between $246 million and $1 billion, which ranges from $4.2-$17.3 billion in 2023 dollars.
      Now, using estimates in today's dollars:
      Flooding peaked in the Lower Mississippi River near Mound Landing, Mississippi, and Arkansas City, Arkansas, and broke levees along the river in at least 145 places. The water flooded more than 27,000 square miles of land and left more than 700,000 people homeless. Monetary damages due to flooding reached approximately $1 billion. If the event were to have occurred in 2023, the damages would total around $1.38 trillion to $1.48 trillion.

    I live 50km away from polavaram dam, and it's canal passes through my town.. completed almost 10 years ago. Even before completion of the project, the canal supplied water, always full of water and enriched lakhs of acres of farms nearby. It is just mind-blowing what humans can do.
    Also, all thanks to the river godavari.. Godavari is always full, usually it's water overflows from existing dams and fresh water gets wasted to Ocean.. polavaram will help in fixing that.

    It should be atleast 2000MW (2 GW)
    I'll put the comparisons below with itaipu dam.
    Dam => Itaipu : Polavaram
    Height=> 196 mts : 45 mts
    Ratio => 4.3 : 1
    Length => 7.9 km : 3.7km
    Ratio => 2.1 : 1
    Energy=> 14 GW : 1GW
    Ratio => 14 : 1
    I mean the energy ratio also should be around 4 : 1 which gets us the capacity of around 3 GW and conservatively 2 GW

    Correction:
    Dam is being constructed by Indian state "Andhra Pradesh" but not Government of India at earlier stages, later with assistance of Central government as compensation for AP division
    Major reason for delay is
    1. Andhra state got divided into two states, in which Andhra lost Capital city (financial power)to the new state
    2. Politics
    3. Part of Submerged area comes under neighbouring state,.... Court case from them
    4. Environmental group court cases
    After division is state, as a consolation,
    Government of India agreed to help Andhra state but due to politics Dam have been delayed

SHOW both, but don't make the video so tedious with so much "conversion." It's easier to appreciate the magnitude of the numbers if you don't mix units.

    The problem is the maintenance and constant education of personal. ITAIPU has got it and a huge fish cultivation and harvest. This important aspect has not been told here. And does India build the Kaplan turbines ? If not how to insure technical maintenance? Photovoltaic is also an issue. Covering the whole area with photovoltaic brings electric energy and cools the water and atmosphere. Another problem is the slow erection thus creating constant technical challenges. Hopefully India uses the wide experience of the ITAIPU technicians.

Not sure what could be done for irrigation though. One could look at ancient Indian architecture for some inspiration there perhaps.
