Work on Warasgaon Dam in India began in 1976, and since that construction some leakage has been observed. From 1994 to 2008, steady leakage was reported.

One that has garnered great support comes from the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI), which visited the site in December 2009 to assess the dam.
