This article covers all the headworks and barrages in Pakistan and their facts and figures. It could be a good topic for presentation specially for those who want to present related to pakistan.
2. ▪ Definition of a headwork.
▪ Difference b/w headwork and barrage.
▪ Head works in Sindh, Punjab and KPK
▪ Barrages in Punjab
▪ Salient features of all headworks in Pakistan.
3. ▪ A hydraulic structure which supplies and diverts water to the off taking canal is
called HEADWORK..
▪ Reduces fluctuations in the level of supply in river
▪ Rises the water level
▪ Regulates the intake of water into the canal
▪ Store water for small periods of time
(water diversion from the river into
the canal successfully and efficiently )
(dam is constructed across a river
valley to form a storage reservoir)
2 Types of Headwork’s
Diversion Headwork’s Storage Headwork’s
4. Headwork's:
Built on river or water course b/w two banks at the same level of river to control
water, distribute it through canals for irrigation or otherpurpose of supplying water
Barrage:
Designed in such a way so that it could increase the water level and serve as a
storage
Electricity can be produced at a barrage after construction of hydro power plants
but could not be at a head work.
6. In KPK there is only 1 headwork MUNDA HEADWORK
