Explanation

The Central Water and Power Research Station is located in Khadakwasla, Pune, Maharashtra. Established in 1916, it is the premier national institute for hydraulic and allied research under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. It serves as the main research arm of the Government of India for projects related to water resources, power generation, and coastal engineering. Khadakwasla was chosen as the site due to its proximity to the Khadakwasla Dam, which provides the necessary water supply for large-scale hydraulic model testing.
