a Additional details, operating specifications, notes, status updates, barrages not in this table, and methodological details regarding the calculation of displaced population for each dam are available in the full dam database in supplementary materials.
b Estimated displaced population for the structure if completed in the year 2020.
c For these structures, either live or gross storage was not given; for these cases, live storage was assumed to be 80% of gross storage, after IWM (2010).
d This dam site is easily confused with the “Sapta Kosi,” “Kali Gandaki,” and “Budhi Gandaki” sites, but it is independent of these projects.
e Pulichintala Project opened in 2014.
f Kattalai Barrage was completed in 2014.
