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.

(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

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

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
