This masonry dam was constructed in the year 1929. The masonry used was lime mortar.
The Aoda Dam had leakages at many points downstream. Over the period due to ageing, the lime mortar was washed out of the masonry joints, leaving voids and seepage path through the body of the dam. For the 1158 m of long non-overflow portion, pointing on the upstream and downstream face joints was carried out. To arrest the seepage and to consolidate the body of the dam, percussion drilling by descending order and grouting at an average depth of 25 metres was carried out. Primary holes at 6 m centre to centre and secondary holes at 3 m centre to centre were drilled and grouted. The seepage was controlled within the permissible limit.
