Check Dams in the foothills of Shivalik range of Mountains

The Punjab Irrigation Department constructed various Check Dams in the foothills of Shivalik  range of Mountains in the Kandi area of Hoshiarpur district. The water flowing from the glaciers of Himalayas is collected in the reservoirs of these dams and utilised for irrigational purposes. These Check dams have also provided a protection shield for the areas on western side from floods in rainy season.

The scenic beauty of these Check Dams attract the tourists for a pleasurable outing. But, the admission to some of these dams are restricted because of the indiscipline of the tourists. Some youths drowned at Dholwaha Dam when they broke rules and getū into the water reservoir of the Dam. Some similar incidents also happened at other dams. So, the authorities decided to restrict admission to the dams.
