The Khodiyar Dam is a dam built on Shetrunji River in Gujarat in western India. The primary purpose of the dam is to provide water for irrigation. It was completed in 1967 and a canal off the reservoir's right bank was completed the next year. The 36.27 m (119 ft) tall earthen dam has a concrete gravity section which serves as the service spillway and an emergency spillway is located on its right bank.^[1]
