Ghazi Barotha Dam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ghazi Barotha Dam (Urdu: غازى بروتھا بند ) is located on Indus River in Pakistan. Ghazi Barotha Hydroelectric project is located around 100km from Islamabad, It involved the construction of a partial river diversion at Ghazi Barotha, 7 km downstream from the Tarbela Dam.
The barrage diverts water into a 52km concrete-lined channel and delivers it to the 1,450MW powerhouse at Barotha. This is further downstream, near the confluence of the Indus and Haro rivers. In this reach the Indus River drops by 76m within a distance of 63km. After passing through the powerhouse, diverted water is returned to the Indus. In addition to these main works, transmission lines stretch 340km
