Bhakra Nangal Dam is available adjoining both Gobind Sagar Lake on its left side & Satluj river on its right. It actually means the water of Gobind Sagar that is left via dams meet Satluj river in the end. Then Satluj river come across the Nangal dam and thus provide necessary drinking water and electricity generated from it to the surrounding villages. The electricity generated at Bhakra Dam is provided to major 4 Northern states i.e Punjab, Himachal, Delhi & Haryana. If you want more information, you can visit site www.bhakranangaldam.com

Bhakra Nangal Dam is a dam across the Sutlej River, near the border between Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in northern India
The Bhakra-Nangal Dam has been built on the Sutlej River.
bhakra dam is located on river satluj which is located in punjab.
This project has been jointly launched by Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. It is the biggest multi-purpose project in India, started in1948 and completed in 1968. This project derives its name from the two dams Bhakra and Sutlej, built on a tributary of the Indus, the Sutlej. The Bhakra dam , constructed across the river Sutlej, is located at the foot of the Siwalik hills in Himachal Pradesh.The first prime minister of India, Late Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru dedicated this dam to the nation on 20th November, 1963. The Bhakra dam is the highest Concrete gravity dam in Asia and the second highest in the world. The Bhakra dam has played an important role in checking the floods in the river Sutlej. The Nangal dam constructed across the river Sutlej, about 12 kilometres downstream is at Nangal in Punjab. This reservoir is used as a backup in case the Bhakra dam fluctuates.Storing the water of the Sutlej river coming from the Bhakra dam,the Nangal dam forms a 6 kilometre long artificial lake. Its Height is 29 metres(95 feet) and Length is 304.8 metres(1000feet) .

The Bhakra Nangal Dam, located on the Sutlej River in India, has a total installed hydroelectric power generation capacity of 1,325 megawatts (MW). This capacity is achieved through its two powerhouses: the Bhakra Powerhouse with six units of 150 MW each and the Nangal Powerhouse with five units of 110 MW each. The dam plays a crucial role in providing irrigation and hydroelectric power to northern India.
The Bhakra Nangal Dam project was headed by the renowned engineer and architect, J. L. Nehru, who was then the Prime Minister of India. The chief engineer responsible for the design and construction of the dam was J. B. Kripalani. The project was initiated in the 1940s and completed in the 1960s, playing a crucial role in water management and irrigation in northern India.

The Bhakra Nangal Dam was built primarily for irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation. Located on the Sutlej River in northern India, it plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the Punjab and Haryana regions by providing a reliable water supply. Additionally, the dam helps manage seasonal flooding in the river basin, contributing to regional stability and economic growth. Its construction marked a significant achievement in India's efforts to harness water resources for development.
A multi purpose river project in ndia is where a dam is built across for: 1. water storage 2.hydroelectricity production 3.supplying of water to far away farms 4.Aquaculture. Since it is being used for many purposes, it is called so.
It is very much on the sutlej river.Bhakra and nangal are two dams bth on river sutlej.
