}}'''Kadana Dam''' is an earthen and masonry on the [[Mahi River]] in [[Mahisagar district]] of [[Gujarat]], [[India]]. The dam was constructed between 1979 and 1990. The dams a [[pumped-storage]] [[hydroelectric]] power-station. The first two generators were commissioned in 1990, the second two in 1998. The first two generators commissioned, Stage I, are reversible [[kaplan turbine]]s that allow the power station to generate during peak hours then pump back into the reservoir during low hours such as night.<ref>{{cite news|title=240 MW capacity Kadana Dam generates at most two hours of hydro-electricity: GETC report|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/240-mw-capacity-kadana-dam-generates-at-most-two-hours-of-hydroelectricity-getc-report/472151/|accessdate=24 March 2014|newspaper=The Indian Express|date=6 June 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Water Resources Development Projects in the Mahi Basin|url=http://www.nih.ernet.in/rbis/india_information/Mahi_projects.htm|publisher=National Institute of Hydrology Roorkee|accessdate=24 March 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120211070713/http://www.nih.ernet.in/rbis/India_information/Mahi_projects.htm|archivedate=11 February 2012|df=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Pumped Storage Schemes in India|url=http://www.debooks.in/product/pumped-storage-schemes-in-india|publisher=Central Board of Irrigation & Power|accessdate=24 March 2014}}</ref>
