Located in the outer Himalaya (in Tehri, Garhwal district of present day Uttarakhand), the dam is planned to be fifth highest in the world with the height of 260.5 m. In the Garhwal region the most men migrate to the plains in search of jobs and mostly get recruited in the army or work as truck drivers. Women are the able-bodied men and take care of household needs, trudge long distances to get water, work on land, get fuel and herbs from the forests and earn additional income for household by doing side business. The dam located in a seismic fault zone. Between 1816-1991 the region has witnessed 17 earthquakes. The most intense public debate on the Tehri dam has centred on the issue of seismicity and dam safety. All socio-economic and physical impact of the dam has been studied and its georaphical evaluation has also been taken into consideration. | | Keywords : | | - Physical Impact
