Gujarat's first air-filled rubber dams are being constructed across which two rivers?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: Heran and Ambika. Gujarat is constructing its first two air-filled rubber dams across the Heran River in Chhota Udepur and the Ambika River in Tapi district. An air-filled rubber dam is an inflatable hydraulic structure that stores water by inflating a rubber bladder and releases floodwater and silt by deflating it during high flows. The projects use South Korean rubber bladder technology and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for automated operation. The Rajvasana Rubber Dam is designed to irrigate 3,420 hectares of farmland across 25 villages, while the Pathakwadi Rubber Dam will provide assured irrigation to about 650 hectares. The engineered rubber bladder is 18–32 mm thick, can withstand temperatures above 50°C, and has an estimated service life of 30 years. Rubber dams, also known as inflatable dams, are used for water storage, irrigation, river regulation, and flood management. The two projects form part of water conservation efforts under the Catch the Rain campaign, promoting rainwater harvesting and efficient water resource management. SCADA is an industrial automation system used for real-time monitoring, remote control, and data acquisition of infrastructure and utility networks.
