The Dumduma Falls on the River Machhakunda is one of the most popular tourist spot in Orissa. The Dumduma Falls is also known as the Matsya Tirtha and it is the site of the famous Machhakund Hydro-Electric Project.
This fall, located in the Eastern Ghats, is said to drop about 157 meters. There is apparently a hydroelectric project in the vicinity, but we aren't sure whether it harnesses the power of the falls (it is likely). The falls appear to be of a horsetail form. We've uncovered a little information regarding the effects of the hydro-diversion, apparently, 104cfs are drawn for hydropower. This leads us to believe that this waterfall is still a monster in monsoon season.
Investigation and research on the Dumduma Falls began in the year 1941 when the plan for generating hydro-electric power was chalked out. It was around the year 1946, that the scheme was implemented.
