The Correct Answer is Subansiri Lower Dam. Subansiri Lower Dam is in Dhemaji District of Assam. Subansiri Lower Dam, officially named Subannsiri Lower Hydroelectric Project, is an under-construction gravity dam on the Subansiri River in North East India. It is located 2.3 Km upstream of Gerukamukh Village in Dhemaji District on the border of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Its construction began in December 2007 and it is under construction. The concrete gravity dam is designed to be 116 m (381 ft) tall. Its length will be 284m and the dam will have a structural volume of 2,250,000 m 3 . The reservoir created by Dam has a gross storage capacity of 1.37Km 3 . Some environmental impacts unique to very large dams will result from the completion of the Subansiri Project, both upstream and downstream of the dam site. These impacts will include ecosystem damage and loss of land.
