Chirai River
The 883rd longest river in the world
Chirai River, also known as Sakara River, is a river in Gujarat in western India, whose origin is above the ancient city of Khirsara. Its basin has a maximum length of 30 km. The total catchment area of the basin is 365 km2. The Tapar Dam (Tappar Dam) on the Chirai was completed in 1975 (23°15′07″N 70°08′11″E). It was an earthen embankment dam with a concrete cover, 4,575 meters long and 17.75 meters high. It was designed to hold 48.81 million cubic meters of water. The dam failed as a result of the January 2001 Bhuj earthquake, and was subsequently rebuilt. The Tapar Reservoir (Tapar Reservoir) provides water for the Gandhidham metropolitan area and the port at Kandla.
