Diamer-Bhasha Dam

The Diamer-Bhasha Dam is a significant infrastructure project in Pakistan, located on the Indus River in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. Its primary purposes are to generate hydroelectric power, improve water storage for irrigation, and help control flooding. The dam is designed to boost Pakistan’s energy supply and address water shortages in agriculture. It also plays a vital role in reducing sediment flow to existing reservoirs, enhancing their lifespan. With the potential to create jobs and support economic development, the dam is a crucial element in Pakistan’s efforts to develop sustainable water and energy resources.
