    History

    Construction of the Bhandardara Dam, initially named Wilson Dam, commenced in 1910 and was completed in 1926 during the British colonial era. The primary purpose of the dam was to provide irrigation water to the agricultural lands in the Ahmednagar district. The dam's construction was a significant engineering feat for its time, utilizing locally sourced materials and labor. Over the years, the dam has played a crucial role in the region's agricultural development and water management. It has also become an important landmark and a testament to the ingenuity of early 20th-century engineering. Today, it stands not only as a functional structure but also as a historical monument attracting tourists from across the country.
