Q. Krishnaraja Sagar (KRS) Dam, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Karnataka
Notes: Heavy rainfall in the Cauvery basin has increased water release from the Krishna Raj Sagar (KRS) dam. Built across the River Cauvery at Kannambadi by the Wodeyar dynasty, it was named Krishnaraja Sagara in 1917 after King Krishnaraja Odeya IV. The dam supplies water to Shivasamudra's hydro-electric power station, Mysore City's drinking water, and irrigation purposes.
