Detailed Solution

The Hirakud dam was constructed on the Mahanadi river.
It created a conflict between the states of Odisha and Chattisgarh regarding water distribution from the Mahanadi river. The Hirakud Dam was built primarily to stop the severe flooding affecting a significant portion of coastal Odisha. But the residents of Odisha's western region were significantly impacted by the dam's construction. The Hirakud project impacted close to 150,000 people and resulted in the displacement of close to 22,000 families.
