class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Haldia Dam was constructed by Raja of Moyurbhanj during the 1st decade of twentieth century in the Budhabalanga Basin across Chipat nalla for providing Irrigation to 2429 ha (CCA), mostly inside Kuliana Block of Mayurbhanj district. As mentioned in the \u201cReport on the administration of Mayurbhanj\u201d for the year 1909 \u2013 10, Haldia bund was almost completed. It is an earth dam constructed of local materials with the state of the art prevailing at that time. For nearly a century, the project has been providing irrigation. After merger of the Mayurbhanj State with Orissa in 1949, the maintenance of the project came under works department first ad next under Irrigation Department. Haldia project will now become a part of the Interstate Subarnarekha Irrigation project (SIP) which is under execution in Mayurbhanj district to irrigate 1,09,627 ha of CCA in Mayurbhanj &amp; Balasore Districts. As per the present scheme, the Haldia Dam will be upgraded to enhance its height, storage capacity &amp; ayacut area. The present dam will be a part of the new upgraded dam at the upstream toe and this will have a maximum height of 23.10m and the live storage capacity will be enhanced from 716 ham to 4688 ham. As per the proposed up-gradation programme, Haldia Reservoir will be directly fed by Subranarekha Main Canal through a link channel upstream of the Head Regulator of Betonati Branch canal. The length of the dam, as constructed originally is 1745.6m with at least four kinks. The spillway is located towards the left abutment in a straight reach having a length of 137.2m. After up-gradation, the dam length would become 4.2 km, the extension being effected from left flank for a considerable length even though the height is less. The original spillway was provided with 52 nos of automatic falling shutters of 1m height. The major dam safety problems are : There are seepages at several places and the most dangerous looking seepage spot is at the left Training wall of the right head regulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Official name \u2013 Haladia Dam<br>Impounds \u2013 Haladia River<br>Locale &#8211; Mayurbhanj<br>Maintained &amp; Operated by &#8211; WRD, Govt.of Odisha<br>Length \u2013 4200m<br>Height &#8211; 23.1m<br>Opening date \u2013 1985<br>Construction Cost &#8211; Rs790.32cr<br>Capacity \u2013&nbsp;<strong>46.8 million m3<\/strong><br>Catchment area &#8211; 83400 km2<br>Surface area \u2013Geographical Data (Location of map)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_information_Haldia_Dam\"><\/span>Location information Haldia Dam :<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rangibeda Village, Mayurbhanj District, 757030 Odisha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ClimateWeather_in_Haldia_Dam\"><\/span><strong>Climate\/Weather in Haldia Dam :<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>District experiences a sub-tropical&nbsp;climate.
