Targol Dam

Targol Dam is an irrigation dam located near Targol village in Dehgam Taluka, Gandhinagar District, Gujarat. Built across a local river channel to support irrigation and water supply for surrounding agricultural areas, the dam forms a reservoir surrounded by rural farmland and open landscape. It is known locally as a quiet water body visited for sightseeing, nature observation and short picnics, especially when water levels are higher after the monsoon season.

Visitors can expect a rural earthen dam and reservoir surrounded by agricultural fields and open countryside. The site offers views of the water spread, embankment and spillway area. There are no major commercial developments; the setting is quiet and natural. Visitors can walk along accessible embankment areas, observe the reservoir, take photographs and enjoy a short picnic. Water levels and scenery are most prominent during and after the monsoon.

Targol Dam was constructed as a minor irrigation scheme to provide water for agriculture and local water supply in the Targol-Dehgam area of Gandhinagar District. The earthen dam structure is part of Gujarat's network of small to medium irrigation reservoirs developed to support rural agrarian needs.
