Tigra Dam

Tigra Dam (also spelled "Tig Dam") creates a freshwater reservoir on the Sank River, about 23 km from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India[1] It plays a crucial role in supplying water to the city and is an important tourism spot of Gwalior.

[2] A dam constructed on this site in 1915 failed on the afternoon of 19 August 1917, due to infiltration into its sandstone foundations.

Moreover, the dam also provides the water required for the drinking purpose in the Gwalior City.

Rebuilt in 1927, the dam is a popular tourist spot, particularly during the months of monsoon when the water level is highest.

Water sports, including boating, remains in high demand.
