Construction of the reservoir for the hydroelectric plant began in 1956
by the Government of East Pakistan. As a result, 54,000 acres (220
km2) of farmland in the Rangamati District went under water and
created the lake. The hydro-electric project was funded by the United
States. The project was finished in 1962. International Engineering
Company and Utah International Inc. received the contract for
construction of the dam. The dam is 670.8 meters long, and 54.7
meters high. The dam has a 745 feet (227 m) long spillway containing
16 gates. Through the spillway 5,250,000 cu ft/s (149,000 m3/s) of
water can pass. The land that went under water as a result of the dam
construction, was 40% of the total arable land in the area. Along with
that, 29 square miles (75 km2) of the Government-owned forest, and
234 square miles (610 km2) of other forest land went under water.
About 18,000 families with a total of almost 100 thousand people were
also displaced. The palace of the king of the Chakmas was also
flooded and is now under water.
