Gangapur Dam, is an earthfill dam on Godavari River near Nashik in the state of Maharashtra in India.

The volume content is 4,612 km3 (1,106 cu mi) and gross storage capacity is 215,880.00 km3 (51,792.37 cu mi).

[2] Due to silt deposition in the reservoir area, the storage capacity of the dam has gradually reduced.

The right side canal running towards Nashik is also closed due to the high civilization in the area.

For these two reasons, an upstream dam, Kashypi Dam, is constructed which opened in 2000 [3] one of the earthen dam having emergency spillway[citation needed]
