Termites pose great threat to dams and dykes and this has been reported from various corners in the world. In the south east Asian country, Vietnam, sixty four species of termites have been reported from dam sites, majority of which were found belonging to family Termitidae: Isoptera. In India, dam sites are under scrutiny for termite attack since long. Hirakud dam on Mahanadi river at Odisha was reported to be attacked by termites in 1960s. Under purview of ICAR-National Fellow Project, field survey in 2012 at Hirakud dam could also reveal termite infestation in that area.
