Linganamakki Dam is a dam constructed by the British across the Sharavathi River in the state of Karnataka in southern India. Behind the dam is a large reservoir. It is located about 6 km from Jog Falls.
The dam's height is 1819 feet above sea level.[1] The discharge from the dam can be quite heavy. When the dam's sluice gates are closed upstream from Jog Falls, it is possible to walk down into the fall's ravine.[2]
Power generation capacity of this dam is 2*27.5 MW.
