Detailed Solution

Hirakud Dam is a dam built across the Mahanadi River in Odisha.
It is located roughly 15 kilometres from Sambalpur. Behind the Dam is Hirakud Reservoir, which is 55 kilometres long. It was one of the first big multipurpose river valley projects to begin after India's independence. It is the world's longest earthen Dam, standing alone across the mighty river Mahanadi, which drains an area of 1,33,090 square kilometres, more than twice the size of Srilanka. Most Hirakud Dam has enough dirt, concrete, and masonry components to build and pave a road 8 metres wide from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and Amritsar to Dibrugarh in Assam.
