Explanation
The Alamatti Dam is a hydroelectric project located in the northern part of Karnataka. It is built across the Krishna River and serves as the main reservoir for the Upper Krishna Irrigation Project. The dam was completed in 2005 and is also known as the Lal Bahadur Shastri Dam. While the Godavari, Cauvery, and Mahanadi are major peninsular rivers, the specific location and infrastructure of this dam are associated exclusively with the Krishna River basin.
