Madenur dam went under water
The Mysore rulers planned and executed construction of Madenur dam. This was the first dam constructed across the Sharavathy river to generate power. This project displaced people settled in 70 villages, besides submerging vast forest land. Interestingly, the dam went under water following construction of Linganmakki dam. During summer, when the water level comes down, the old dam emerges out of the water.
