Jayakwadi (Stage-1) Hydroelectric Project is built on which river?
Godavari
The Jayakwadi Project is a major multi-purpose irrigation and hydroelectric project of Maharashtra.
It is built across the Godavari river near Paithan in Aurangabad district. The reservoir formed by the dam is called Nathsagar.
The Stage-1 hydroelectric component uses water released from the dam to generate power along with providing irrigation to the Marathwada region and drinking water to nearby towns.
The Indus, Cauvery and Ganga rivers do not have this project on them.
Hence, Godavari.
