Waghur Dam is an earthfill dam located on the Waghur River near Kandari and Varadsim, Jalgaon in the Indian state of Maharashtra.The Waghur river flows from its source near Ajanta through the Khandesh region. Work on this major irrigation project was taken up by the Water Resources Department of Maharashtra and began construction in 1978. The dam's main purpose is to supply water to Jalgaon city. Canals were built along the left and right banks of the river to meet irrigation needs. In 2006, record rainfall in the catchment area of Waghur was recorded. Nearly 40 TMC of water spilled over the dam. As of 2008, the dam's reservoir had storage capacity of 75 TMC. Twenty additional spill gates were planned for the dam, increasing storage capacity by 15 TMC. The project was to supply drinking water needs of roughly 500 thousand people and will irrigate approximately 64,000 acres of drought prone fields.
