History of Pandoh Dam The plan to construct Pandoh Dam was made to exploit the potential of the Beas and Sutlej river systems. Beas, being a perennial river, has a continuous flow of water from the ice-melt. Thus, the power potential of the project was estimated to be around 1,000 MW. The plan originally named as Beas Project. The first plan was initiated by the Punjab Government in 1957. After a number of alterations, the plan was approved in 1963 and commissioned in 1977. Adventure Sports at Pandoh Dam The narrow stretch of the lake is a host to various water sports and activities, especially during October-May every year.
