Additional Information:

The Daman Ganga River originates from the Sahyadri hills near Valveri village in Nashik district, Maharashtra. It flows for about 131 kilometers through Maharashtra, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, and Daman before draining into the Arabian Sea.

The river is an important source of water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial use. Industrial towns like Vapi, Dadra, and Silvassa are located on its banks. The Madhuban Dam, built on the river, is a major water resource project benefiting Gujarat, DNH, and Daman & Diu, providing water for irrigation, supply, and power generation.
