The '''Ithai Barrage''' impounds the Manipur River just below the confluence of the Imphal River and the Khuga River. It is part of the Loktak Hydroelectric project.<ref name="wris">{{cite web |title=LOKTAK HE Project |url=http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=LOKTAK_HE_Project |publisher=India-WRIS |accessdate=30 December 2018 }}{{Dead link|date=September 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
