		THE KOYNA, built high in Satara district of the Sahyadris on one of the major tributaries of the Krishna, is a big dam, a ``major irrigation project'' in the terminology of the Indian Government.
		The areas to be irrigated by lift schemes taking water released from the Koyna reservoir include Khanapur taluk, where the struggle to build the Bali Raja Memorial Dam, a famous ``small dam'', was launched.
		However, its benefits cannot be extended to the whole of the tehsil, since the Yerala river continues to have water only for one month a year and any number of small dams built on it will not provide sufficient water for the whole tehsil.
