Explanation

The Rihand Valley Project, also known as the Rihand Dam, is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh [2]. Specifically, it is situated at Pipri in the Sonbhadra district [1]. It is a concrete gravity dam constructed across the Rihand River, which is a major tributary of the Son River [1]. The project is recognized as the largest multipurpose project in Uttar Pradesh and was funded by the Central Government [1]. The reservoir created by this dam is named Govind Ballabh Pant Sagar, which is one of India's largest artificial lakes by volume [2]. While the catchment area extends into Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and the reservoir sits on the border of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, the dam structure itself and the primary project location are within Uttar Pradesh [2].
