点评:Jawai Bandh(Dam)is built across the Jawai River, a tributary of Luni River, in Rajasthan.The dam was built by Maharaja Umaid Singh of Jodhpur and completed in 1957.This dam covers an area of 13 km2 and is the biggest man made dam in Western Rajasthan.It is the main water supply source for Pali district. If there is sufficient water in the dam, then some villages of Jalore district and Pali district get water for irrigation from the Jawai Dam, which was the main aim in making this dam. With great difficulty we managed to drive to this location in thick slush and soft mud.Jowar cultivation was the main crop in a few fields.The Monsoon season had just begun in July during our jeep drive and by September this entire firm ground through which our jeep drove would be submerged with water if it was a good monsoon season.
