HALALI DAM
The Halali reservoir is a
reservoir in the Raisen district of Madhya Pradesh, India. It is built on the
Halali River, and lies 40 km away from the state capital Bhopal. The Halali
River is a tributary of the Betwa River.
It was formerly known as Thal River. In
the 18th century, Dost Mohammad Khan’s forces killed a rival Rajput force near
Jagdishpur (later renamed to Islamnagar) on the bank of river. The river was
renamed to “Halati River” (the river of slaughter), because it appeared red
with the blood of the victims. Another name for the river is Banganga. The
Halali reservoir was commissioned in 1973.

BHADBHADA DAM, BHOPAL
The Bhadbhada dam (Hindi: भदभदा बांध) is a set of 11 sluice gates at the south-east corner of Upper lake in Bhopal. It was constructed in 1965. And the capacity of the Bhadbhada dam is 117.05 million m. The gates are used to control the outflow of water from the lake to Kaliasote River, and are usually opened only when the city receives heavy rainfall during the monsoon season.
The free flow of water in Kalia Sot could prove fatal for the upper lake. So, another dam was built at Bhadbhada that allowed water into the Kalia Sot only when the Upper Lake would overflow in the monsoons.
