Goruru Hemavathi Reservoir ( Gorur / Hemavathy Dam ) - History details

Built in 1979 across the Hemavathi River at Gorur, Hassan, the earthen‑plus‑gravity dam stretches 4,692 m and rises 58.5 m with six radial spillway gates. The reservoir’s 2,810 km² catchment serves irrigation and drinking needs. Lawns and birdlife make it a monsoon‑season spectacle when gates release frothing torrents; nearby are Paravasudeva and Yoganarasimha temples.
