Explanation

Hirakud Dam, one of the world's longest dams, is built across the Mahanadi River in Odisha state. It was completed in 1957 and serves multiple purposes including irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. The Krishna, Kaveri, and Godavari rivers have their own major dams but not Hirakud.
