Dam in Maharashtra, India
The Bhushi Dam is a masonry dam on the Indrayani River in Lonavala , Maharashtra , India.[2] Indian Railways announced plans to develop Bhushi Dam as a tourist resort with participation from the private sector.[3]
Bhushi reservoir
History [ edit ]
The dam was built in the late 1860s for the Great Indian Peninsular Railway as a source of water for their steam engines.[1] [update] Central Railway zone of the Indian Railways , the successor to the Great Indian Peninsular Railway.[1]
Water was carried from the reservoir to Lonavala , Khandala and the reversing station of the railways by cast-iron pipes. The Railway company later agreed to supply some water to the town of Lonavala as well, because the dam had been built using Municipal funding.[2]
In 2011, the Indian Navy proposed to take over the Bhushi dam and Bhugaon lake for its training activities at the Indian Naval Station Shivaji [4]
In 2012, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) proposed to construct a 9 kilometres (5.6 miles) long tunnel along the Mumbai Pune Expressway which would pass right below the Bhushi dam.[5]
Accidents [ edit ]
The Bhushi Dam frequently sees cases of drowning. A 2012 report stated that as many as 25 people had died in a five-year period.[6]
In order to bring down these accidents, the Lonavala Police and the railways set up a control room near the dam, as well as imposed a ban on consumption of liquor in areas surrounding the dam.[7] [8]
Tourists are usually allowed to visit the dam from 9 am up to 3 pm. Except local buses, all other buses are banned from entering the area.[9]
