Q. Which two dams are part of the Purna Irrigation Project in Maharashtra?
Answer: Yeldari Dam and Siddheshwar Dam
Notes:  Purna Irrigation Project is a major water resource project located on the Purna River, a tributary of the Tapi, in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Funded by the World Bank, the project involves two primary dams: the Yeldari Dam (for storage and hydropower) and the Siddheshwar Dam (for re-regulation and irrigation). It provides a reliable water supply to irrigate approximately 152,000 acres of land in the Hingoli and Parbhani districts, which were historically dependent on erratic rainfall. The project has significantly boosted the production of cash crops like cotton and sugarcane in the region.
