Q. Almatti Dam is located in which of the following states?
Answer: Karnataka
Notes: Almatti Dam is a hydroelectric project on the Krishna River in North Karnataka, India. With a height of 52 meters and length of 2700 meters, Almatti is the main reservoir of the Upper Krishna Irrigation Project. The 2880 MW hydroelectric power station supplements irrigation facilities to drought-prone Bijapur and adjoining districts. Almatti helps regulate flood control and maintains supply during low-rainfall periods. However, the large reservoir has also partially submerged low-lying basalt formations with prehistoric rock art which poses a preservation challenge.
