The '''Dantiwada Dam''' is a mud and masonry dam on the [[West Banas River]] near Dantiwada, [[Banaskantha district]] of northern [[Gujarat]] in [[India]]. The dam was constructed in 1965 mainly for irrigation and flood control.<br />

111 total villages are under command of the Dantiwada Dam, of which 12 villages are partially submerged. Total land submerged under the reservoir include {{convert|1215|ha|acre sqmi|lk=on}} forest land, {{convert|810|ha|acre sqmi|lk=on}} wasteland, {{convert|2025|ha|acre sqmi|lk=on}} cultivable land.<ref name="gg">{{cite web | url=https://guj-nwrws.gujarat.gov.in/showpage.aspx?contentid=1682&lang=english | title=Dantiwada Water Resources Project | publisher=Narmada, Water Resources, Water Supply and Kalpsar Department (Water Resources Division) | work=Government of Gujarat | accessdate=2015-12-04}}</ref><br />
