Yaragol ( Yaragola ) Dam, Kolar - History details

Built near Yaragol village (Bangarpet taluk) and inaugurated in November 2023, the reservoir project diverts Markandeya waters to supply drinking water to Kolar, Bangarpet, Malur and 45 villages—transforming a drought‑prone tract. The embankment abuts gently rolling granitic terrain; monsoon months offer scenic overflow. The scheme cost ~₹308 crore across dam and ancillaries.
