2. WHAT IS DAM?
STRUCTURE BUILT ACROSS A STREAM, RIVER, OR ESTUARY TO RETAIN
WATER.

3. WHY DAMS ARE
BUILD
• DAMS ARE BUILT TO PROVIDE WATER FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, FOR IRRIGATING ARID AND
SEMIARID LANDS, OR FOR USE IN INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES.
• THEY ARE USED TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF WATER AVAILABLE FOR GENERATING
HYDROELECTRIC POWER.

4. LARGE
DAMS IN
PAKISTAN
• MANGLA DAM
• TARBELA DAM
• BASHA DAM
• WARSAK DAM
• KALABAGH DAM
• KHANPUR DAM
• GOMAL ZAM DAM

5. MANGLA DAM
(‫بند‬ ‫)منگال‬
• THE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED AND
SUPERVISED BY BINNIE & PARTNERS OF
LONDON
• MANGLA DAM COMPLETED IN 1967, IS ONE
OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE IN THE INDUS
BASIN PROJECT (ANOTHER IS TARBELA DAM)
AN EMBANKMENT DAM IS A MASSIVE ARTIFICIAL DAM. IT IS TYPICALLY
CREATED BY THE PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION OF A COMPLEX SEMI-
PLASTIC MOUND OF VARIOUS COMPOSITIONS OF SOIL, SAND, CLAY AND/OR
ROCK
• THE FIRST MEGA PROJECT OF PAKISTAN
• MANGLA DAM EMBANKMENT DAM ON THE
JHELUM RIVER NEAR JHELUM
• IT IS THE 7TH LARGEST DAM IN THE WORLD

7. THE DAM STRUCTURE
• DAM STRUCTURE ROSE
453 FEET (138 METRES)
ABOVE GROUND LEVEL
• WAS ABOUT 10,300 FEET
(3,140 METRES) WIDE AT
ITS CREST

8. • AND HAD A VOLUME OF
85.5 MILLION CUBIC YARDS
(65.4 MILLION CUBIC
METRES)
• IT HAS THREE SMALL
SUBSIDIARY DAMS

13. IMPROVEMEN
TS
 IT HAD AN INITIAL INSTALLED
POWER CAPACITY OF AT
LEAST 600 MEGAWATTS,
WHICH WAS INCREASED TO
1,000 MEGAWATTS IN THE
MID-1990S.
 ALTHOUGH ITS IMPOUNDED RESERVOIR
ORIGINALLY HAD A GROSS CAPACITY OF
ABOUT 5.9 MILLION ACRE-FEET (ABOUT
7.3 BILLION CUBIC METRES), THE
AMOUNT OF WATER IMPOUNDED
GRADUALLY DIMINISHED BECAUSE OF
SILTING.

14.  A FIVE-YEAR PROJECT,
COMPLETED IN 2009,
RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE
DAM BY 30 FEET (9
METRES), RAISING ITS
STORAGE CAPACITY TO
SOME 7.4 MILLION ACRE-
FEET (9.13 BILLION CUBIC
METRES)

15. DISPLACEMENT & RESETTLEMENT
• THE GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN HAD
AGREED TO PAY ROYALTIES TO THE
GOVERNMENT OF AJK (AZAD JAMMU
AND KASHMIR) FOR THE USE OF THE
WATER AND ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY
THE DAM.
• OVER 280 VILLAGES AND THE TOWNS OF
MIRPUR AND DADYAL WERE
SUBMERGED AND OVER 110,000 PEOPLE
WERE DISPLACED FROM THE AREA AS A
RESULT OF THE DAM BEING BUILT.

16. • SOME OF THOSE AFFECTED BY
THE DAM WERE GIVEN WORK
PERMITS FOR BRITAIN BY THE
GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN,
AND AS A RESULT, IN MANY
CITIES IN THE UK THE MAJORITY
OF THE 'PAKISTANI' COMMUNITY
ACTUALLY ORIGINATED FROM
THE DADYAL-MIRPUR AREA OF
AZAD KASHMIR

19. POWER
CAPACITY
 1,000 MEGAWATTS
 PAKISTAN WATER AND POWER
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (WAPDA)
HAS UNDERTAKEN THE MANGLA DAM
REFURBISHMENT PROJECT, WHICH WILL
INCREASE THE GENERATION CAPACITY
OF THE MANGLA HYDEL POWER STATION
FROM 1,000 MEGAWATTS TO 1,310MW

20. COST
 CONSTRUCTION COST OF MANGLA DAM: RS. 15.587
BILLION (US$1.473 BILLION)
 IN NOVEMBER 2012, UNITED STATES ANNOUNCED A
GRANT OF $150 MILLION FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE
MANGLA DAM POWER HOUSE.
 UNDER THE PROJECT, $400 MILLION WOULD BE
SPENT ON THE MANGLA DAM POWER HOUSE WHICH
IS ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION
FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS
