The Project envisages
construction of rolled fill earthen dam 26.20 m high and 23 km long at Thalkuchi village, about 26 km north of
Nalbari, Head Quarter of Nalbari District in Assam.
The project is likely
to protect 40,000 ha chronically flood prone area in the Nalbari district of Assam by limiting the discharge at NT
Road Bridge to 625 cumec which is considered as safe carrying capacity of the river downstream of the dam site.
The project is also expected to provide assured irrigation to a gross command area of 54,160 ha with a net irrigable
area of 34630 ha on the right bank of the river Pagladiya.
