Location, Storage, and Controversy: Located on the Dasht River in the Kech District of Balochistan, the Mirani Dam Project is a critical, multi-purpose storage scheme commissioned by WAPDA. This concrete-faced, rock-filled dam stands 127 feet high and has a massive Gross Storage Capacity of 302,000 acre-feet (with a Live Storage Capacity of 152,000 acre-feet). Completed by Descon Engineering in July 2007 at a cost of Rs. 5,811 million, its primary goal is to provide perennial irrigation to a Cultivable Command Area of 33,200 acres in the Makran Division, significantly boosting the region's agriculture and ensuring a stable drinking water supply to Turbat and Gwadar Port. However, the project remains a subject of controversy due to the 2007 floods, which caused losses upstream, leading to ongoing debates regarding flood affectee compensation and command area development. This video breaks down all the precise facts, figures, and technical details of this vital structure.
