You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The falls are major attractions for [[Karnataka tourism#Water Falls and Caves|tourists]] and is ranked 36th in the list of free-falling waterfalls, 490th in the world by list of waterfalls by total height, 128th in the list of single-drop waterfalls in the World by the waterfall database.<ref>[https://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/waterfall/Jog-Falls-118 Jog Falls World Waterfall Database:] World's Tallest Waterfalls</ref>

==Description==
Jog Falls is created by the [[Sharavati]] river dropping ((cvt|253|m)), making it the third-highest waterfall in India after the [[Nohkalikai Falls]] with a drop of ((cvt|335|m)) in [[Meghalaya]]<ref name=Madan>((cite book|title=India through the ages|last=Gopal|first=Madan|year= 1990| page= 179|editor=K.S. Gautam|publisher=Publication Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India))</ref> and the [[Dudhsagar Falls]] with a drop of ((cvt|310|m)) in [[Goa]].

Sharavathi, a river which rises at Ambutirtha, next to Nonabur, in the [[Thirthahalli]] [[taluk]] takes a northwesterly course by Fatte petta, receives the Haridravati on the right below Pattaguppe and the Yenne Hole on the left above Barangi. Then, it bends to the west, precipitates itself down the Jog Falls (aka Gersoppa Falls), and passes the village of Gersoppa (properly Geru-Sappe), which is some ((convert|30|km)) away, discharging into the Arabian Sea at Honnavar in Uttara Kannada.

The Sharavathi, flowing over a very rocky bed about ((convert|250|yard)) wide, reaches a tremendous chasm, ((cvt|290|m )) deep, and the water comes down in four distinct falls, Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket.<ref>((cite news|last1=Shivasuriya|first1=Sanath|date=11 August 2019|title=Jog Falls' viewing gallery stays empty as floods, landslips prevent visitors|work=Veerendra P M|publisher=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/jog-falls-viewing-gallery-stays-empty-for-now/article28978787.ece|access-date=9 August 2021))</ref> The Raja Fall comes down in one unbroken column sheer to the depth of ((cvt|830|ft|order=flip)). Halfway down, it is encountered by the Roarer, which precipitates itself into a vast cup and then rushes violently downwards to meet the Raja. The Rocket shoots downwards in a series of jets. The Rani moves quietly over the mountainside in a sheet of foam. The [[Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation|Tourism Department]] has built steps from the viewpoint at the top, where the waterfall can be seen from across, to the bottom of the hill. There are approximately 1,400 steps made to reach the bottom of the hill.<ref>((cite web |title=Jog Falls: the jewel of Sharavathi Valley |url=https://jlrexplore.com/gallery/photostories/jog-falls-the-jewel-of-sharavathi-valley |website=JLR Explore |access-date=28 August 2020))</ref>

==Significances==
Associated with the waterfall is the nearby [[Linganamakki Dam]] across the [[Sharavati River]].<ref>[http://www.karnatakapower.com/Sharavathi.htm Karnataka Power Corporation Article] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090119135302/http://www.karnatakapower.com/Sharavathi.htm |date=19 January 2009 ))</ref> The power station has been operational since 1948 and is of 120 MW capacity, one of the largest [[hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] stations in India at that time and a small source of electric power for Karnataka now. The power station was previously named [[Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV|Krishna Rajendra]] hydro-electric project, after the King of Mysore at that time. The name was later changed to [[Mahatma Gandhi]] Hydro-electric Project. It was served by The Hirebhaskara dam until 1960. After 1960, due to the ideas of [[Mokshagundam Visvesvarayya]], Linganmakki Dam has been used for power generation.<ref>((cite web|last1=Shivasuriya|first1=Sanath|date=9 August 2021|title=GERUSOPPA HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT|url=http://karnatakapower.com/en/portfolio/gerusoppa-hydro-electric-project/|access-date=9 August 2021|website=Karnataka Power Corporation Limited|publisher=Copyright © 2014. KPCL All Rights Reserved.))</ref>

== Power ==
The hydro-electric project was conceived by the government of [[Kingdom of Mysore|Mysore]] in mid-1943. A scheme to generate 64,000 [[horsepower]]  at a cost of ((INR))358 [[lakh]] was designed.<ref>((cite web|title=Jog Falls Hydro-Electric Project|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=D-RYAAAAIBAJ&sjid=h0wMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2292%2C96929|website=The Indian Express|access-date=12 April 2017|page=4|date=2 July 1943))</ref> The Power House on the right bank of the Gerusoppa dam consists of four Francis-type turbines coupled to the generating units of 60 MW each. The units are configured to operate at a design head of 47.5 mtrs. An outdoor switchyard is located between the toe of the dam and the power house. Power from the outdoor yard is evacuated through a 220 KV double circuit transmission line connected to the state grid at Talaguppa.

The capacity was increased subsequently and currently generates 240 MW of power.<ref>((cite web|last1=Shivasuriya|first1=Sanath|date=9 August 2021|title=GERUSOPPA HYDRO ELECTRIC PROJECT|url=http://karnatakapower.com/en/projects/|access-date=9 August 2021|website=karnatakapower.com|publisher=KPCL))</ref>
