Chharwa Dam
Chharwa Dam, constructed in 1954, is the life line of the Hazaribagh town water supply system. Even with "mammoth" efforts to rejuvenate Chharwa and other water supply reservoirs in Jharkhand, in the parched-dry Hazaribagh summer it often reaches the dying stage, only to be revived by the onset of the monsoons.[1][2]
As per the Wetlands International Asian Waterbirds Census 2016, there were 1,462 water birds in Chharwa Dam.[3]
Chharwa Dam is home to various vulture species, including the largest and the smallest vultures, the Himalayan griffon vulture and the Egyptian vulture respectively. Critically Endangered species like the Indian Vulture and White Rumped Vulture are also found here.[4]
