Kishenganga Dam

The Kishenganga Dam is a hydroelectric project on the Indus River in India and Pakistan. Its purpose is to generate electricity by harnessing water flow through turbines. The dam also diverts some water for irrigation and flood control. Located upstream in India, it has caused disputes over water sharing, as Pakistan fears reduced downstream flow. The project aims to balance energy needs with regional water management, respecting international agreements, but remains a complex issue involving transboundary water rights and environmental considerations.
