One will be developed in Sindh, four in Punjab, Six in Balochistan and four in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Through these dams, a large quantity of water can be preserved.
Chiniot dam will be established on Chenab River, Papan Dam in Rawalpindi, Kabir Dam in Kabir Nala which is in Talagang. Naulong Dam will be constructed in Balochistan province on Mula River, Hingol Dam on Hangol River and Pilar Dam in Arawan.
The Mohmand Dam will be developed on Swat River while Nau Gaj Dam in Sindh district Dadu. The construction of these dams is the only way to tackle out all the water challenges of future.
