On September 15, 1861, in Karnataka, Sir MV. Visvesvaraya, commonly known as Sir Mokshagund Vishweshvaraya, the engineer, was born to illustrious Sanskrit scholars. In addition to serving as the chief engineer of the Krishna Raja Sagara dam in the north-western suburb of Mysuru city, he was one of the chief engineers for the flood control system in Hyderabad. In order to boost food production and storage, he designed and constructed an irrigation system with water floodgates at the Khadakvasla reservoir near Pune. At the time they were built, one of Asia’s largest reservoirs were created by the Tigra Dam in Gwalior and the Krishnaraja Sagara (KRS) dam in Mysuru, both of which had comparable structures.
