Kotri barrage
Guddu barrage
Sukkur barrage
Taunsa barrage
The idea for the Sukkur Barrage was first proposed by Mr. C. A. Fife in 1868. Sir Arnold Musto oversaw the project, which was approved on June 9, 1923. Construction began on July 1, 1923, and the barrage was officially opened on January 13, 1932, by Governor Lloyd George of Bombay. It was named after him in his honor.
The Sukkur Barrage is a key part of Pakistan’s irrigation system. It’s the largest single irrigation network of its kind in the world and one of the biggest barrages in Pakistan. The barrage has 66 gates and seven canals (Nara, Rohri, Khairpur East, Khairpur West, Northern Dadu, Rice, and NW Canal) that supply water to 70% of the province’s farmable land.
