Mirani Dam
Its construction was began on July 8, 2002 and
completed on October 2006.
The primary purpose of Mirani Dam was to store
water from the three rivers during the summer
season and during floods.
The secondary purpose of Mirani Dam is to
ensure a constant supply of clean drinking water
to the towns of Turbat and Gwadar throughout
the year.

SUKKUR BARRAGE
The Sukkur Barrage, is the pride of Pakistan’s
Irrigation system as it is the largest single
Irrigation network of its kind in the world.
The introduction of barrage-controlled irrigation
system resulted in more timely water supplies for
the existing cultivated areas of Sindh Province of
Pakistan.
