Nayka Dam is an earthen dam on the Bhogavo River located near Surendranagar in the Indian state of Gujarat.[2][3] Nayka is a major source of water and helps with flood control.

The dam serves seven villages. One village is fully and another village partially submerged behind the dam. The reservoir covers 122 hectares (300 acres; 0.47 sq mi) forest land, 140 hectares (350 acres; 0.54 sq mi) wasteland, 324 hectares (800 acres; 1.25 sq mi) cultivable land.[4]

The Nayka Dam irrigated 1,935 hectares (4,780 acres; 7.47 sq mi) in 1997–98.[4]
