Ambuja Cements has built and inaugurated a check dam across Kalnoi river at Murshidabad in West Bengal that ensures water availability for multiple purposes.

The dam is built in coordination with the local community over 45 days. It has 10 gates and two distillation gates with a storage capacity of 91,000 cu mtr of water which can store water up to 10 km upstream as the river bed gradient is very less.

The check dam has helped to rejuvenate Kalnoi river, enabled multi-cropping over 150 ha of agricultural land in six villages and can facilitate the operation of six lift irrigation systems.

Up to 10,000 households receive drinking water from the check dam. It’s located near the ash pond of Ambuja Cements manufacturing unit in Kalaidanga.
