Possibly the world's first soil dam. Work was started in 1976. Used for agricultural purposes only although a small electricity generation plant also runs besides. The dam is built on the Varna river which forms the boundary between Sangli and Kolhapur districts. The back waters for the dam form the refuge for the Chandoli National Park.
This dam is very old. The villages near the dam are aarala, kokrud, shedgewadi.The route is like karad-shedgewadi-arala-chandoli.it is nearly 50 kms away from karad.iIt is small one dam.there is a sanctuary spot.
