Detailed Solution

Salal Dam is built on Chenab. Traditionally, dams were constructed to collect rainfall and rivers for later use in irrigating farmland. Dams are now built for various purposes, including fish breeding, flood control, energy generating, home and industrial water supply, recreation, and flood control. Dams are now called multipurpose projects since they incorporate many uses of the water they hold. The Salal Hydroelectric Project is located close to Reasi on the Chenab River in the Indian state of Jammu &Kashmir's Udhampur district. The project's planning process began in the 1960s. The dam's real construction began in the 1970s. For agricultural purposes, the Salal Dam is significant for the Punjab province in both Pakistan and India.
