HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT As the Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960, India gained rights to the waters of the Ravi, Sutluj and Bias rivers. As the Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960, India gained rights to the waters of the Ravi, Sutluj and Bias rivers. While Pakistan, received the rights to develop the Jehlum, Chenab and Indus river basins through construction of the Indus Basin Project. While Pakistan, received the rights to develop the Jehlum, Chenab and Indus river basins through construction of the Indus Basin Project.

Until 1967, the entire irrigation system of Pakistan was fully dependent on unregulated flows of the Indus and its major tributaries. Until 1967, the entire irrigation system of Pakistan was fully dependent on unregulated flows of the Indus and its major tributaries. The agricultural yield was very low for a number of reasons, the most important being a lack of water during critical growing periods. The agricultural yield was very low for a number of reasons, the most important being a lack of water during critical growing periods. The Mangla Dam was the first development project undertaken to reduce this shortcoming and strengthen the irrigation system.

MANGLA DAM PROJECT The project was designed primarily to increase the amount of water that could be used for irrigation from the flow of the Jehlum and its tributaries. The project was designed primarily to increase the amount of water that could be used for irrigation from the flow of the Jehlum and its tributaries. Its secondary function was to generate electrical power from the irrigation releases at the artificial head of the reservoir.

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 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

Its height can also be increased about 99 feet and storage capacity can also be increased up to 9.6 million acre feet and electricity generated can also be increased from the present 400,000 k.w. to one million k.w. Its height can also be increased about 99 feet and storage capacity can also be increased up to 9.6 million acre feet and electricity generated can also be increased from the present 400,000 k.w. to one million k.w.
