BISALPUR DAM
Botunda, Tonk, Rajasthan, India
The Bisalpur Dam was constructed in the 1990's by the Rajasthan state government. During the construction, the people displaced by the dam protested against the state government's rehabilitation and resettlement policy, calling it unjust. The Bisalpur Dam reservoir supplies irrigation water to the Sawai Madhopur and Tonk districts. It also supplies drinking water to the Ajmer, Jaipur and Tonk districts. From Nasirabad in Ajmer district, the drinking water is also transported to the Bhilwara district via a 15 wagon train, which can carry 2.5 million litres of water. The reservoir has been called the lifeline of the state capital Jaipur. Currently, around half of the areas under the Jaipur Municipal Corporation get water from Bisalpur. In 2016, the Public Health and Engineering Department (PHED) proposed a ₹ 9.5 billion project to supply the Bisalpur water to the remaining areas of the city.
