Dehrang Dam
Panvel, Raigad district, Maharashtra
If you are looking for the main drinking-water reservoir of old Panvel, Dehrang Dam is the dam to know about. It was built in 1964 on the Gadhi river and serves the Panvel area. The reservoir itself is a restricted zone, and most visitors go to the nearby Gadeshwar weir downstream instead. Check locally what is open before you plan a visit. Dehrang is a useful name to know, but treat it as a viewing-from-outside stop.
