Lithium is an important but fairly rare mineral, necessary for the production of lithium-ion batteries which are critical to the current generation of electric vehicles. According to the US Geological Survey, there are only If the 5.9 million tonnes inferred by the Geological Survey of India turns out to be correct, it would mean India has the 8 th largest lithium reserves in the world.

We will have to face consequences due to the environmental fallout… I will be left with nothing.” Ravi Das, 47, a resident of Salal village in Reasi district, Jammu and Kashmir, stands in the field which he believes will be taken away when lithium mining starts in the region (Image: Ashish Kumar Kataria) The government acquired part of Das’ family’s land for the Commissioned in 1987, the dam’s reservoir began silting up within a year. This aggravated the impact of 42-year-old Kartar Nath recalls how cracks began to appear in the walls of several houses in Salal about 15 years ago. Locals suggested that it was the result of dam construction, but no official investigation was conducted. Officials at the dam refused to discuss the issue with The Third Pole when approached, and suggested we approach the Indian governm...

Largest Dam in India A dam is a type of massive barrier that is constructed across a river or stream to hold back water and form a water reservoir behind it. Dam is mainly used to generate electricity, to suppress or control floods and to supply water for various purposes such as drinking, irrigation, etc. A large number of huge dams are built in India over rivers to generate power and provide water for drinking, irrigation and industrial use. List of largest Dams in India: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 1) Tehri Dam, Uttarakhand The Tehri Dam which is constructed in the Tehri region of Uttarakhand is the highest dam in India as of 2020. Tehri dam is built across the Bhagirathi River. It is a multi-purpose rock and earth-fill embankment dam that stands at a height of 260 meters and its length is 575 meters. The width of the crest is 20 meters, whereas, the width of the base is 1128 meters. Its construction was started in 1978 and it was completed in 2006. It was built to generate electricity, to control flood, and to provide water for irrigation and drinking purposes. The total storage capacity of the water reservoir of this dam is 3540 Mm 3. It has two gate-controlled spillways that can eject water at the rate of 15,540 cubic meters per second. It distributes electricity to various north Indian states such as Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir. The Tehri Hydro Development Corporation India Limited, which was incorpora...
