Islamabad: Apr 25, 2022 (TNS): Three multipurpose dams to be constructed in Tank and Dera Ismail Khan Districts would generate 25.5 megawatts of electricity and help irrigate thousands of acres barren lands in the region.
According to APP, new dams included Tank Zam Dam, Chodwan Zam Dam and Daraban Dam to be constructed on priority basis as the region was facing water shortage.
After construction these dams an estimated 109,721 acres of barren land would be irrigated. These dams would also bring an agricultural revolution in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s impoverished zone, besides ensuring food security and creating job opportunities for the local people.
