potential of this river system. The power potential was estimated as 1,000 MW. The plans originally called Beas
Project Unit - I Beas Satluj Link Project went through several revisions for diverting the waters of Beas river. The first plan prepared by Punjab Irrigation Department in 1957. The 1957 plan contemplated a diversion dam at Pandoh, 11.26-kilometre (7.00 mi) tunnel, 19.31-kilometre (12.00 mi) open channel, 4.82-kilometre (3.00 mi) tunnel. The 1957 report was followed by a 1960 report and the final proposal in 1961. The final proposal included 76.25-metre (250.2 ft) diversion dam at Pandoh, a 7.62-metre (25.0 ft) dia, 13.11-kilometre (8.15 mi) Pandoh baggi tunnel, 11.8-kilometre (7.3 mi) Sunder Nagar hydel channel, 8.53-metre (28.0 ft) dia, 12.35-kilometre (7.67 mi) Sundernagar Satluj tunnel, 22.86-metre (75.0 ft) dia 125-metre (410 ft) high surge shaft, three Dehar penstocks split to six penstocks and Dehar power plant with 6 x 165 MW generators. The system would divert 9,000 cubic feet per second (250 m/s) of the Beas to the Satluj. An added benefit of the project was the increased inflow to

Water diverted by the Pandoh Dam is first sent through the 7.62 m diameter, 13.1 km (8 mi) long Pandoh-Baggi tunnel which terminates at the beginning of a 11.8 km (7 mi) long channel. At the end of the channel, the water is stored at the Sundar Nagar
Balancing Reservoir at
