Baldiha Dam :
Nested 17 kilometres away from Baripada town, Balidiha dam’s main attraction is sparkling water overflowing the dam and running down the steps.
The dam was designed by foreign engineers and the objective of getting the dam constructed was to provide food to people for the labour they employed and to irrigate farmlands. It had the system to store water in rainy season and release it later for agricultural purposes.
The dam was the lifeline of farmers of several villages namely Balidiha,Tarajudi, Ghundapal, among several others. The dam, with a height of 7.21 metre and a width of 1.60 metre, has a catchment area of 205 sq km. While the length of the right main canal is 13.05 km, its left main canal covers 6.6 km. It has around 22 distributaries and their total length is around 55.21 kilometers.
The dam was strategically built by the maharaja keeping in mind the needs of several villages for water. It solved the water crisis for several years
