Explore the remarkable Tarbela Dam, a key component of the Indus Basin Project resulting from a 1960 water treaty between India and Pakistan. Nestled from the Himalayas to Sindh's alluvial plains, this engineering marvel ensures Pakistan's water supply, standing as the world's largest earth and rock fill dam. Completed in 1977, Tarbela Dam's turquoise waters reflect suspended silt and clay, with a vast reservoir spanning 260 square kilometers. While crucial for agricultural water storage, its environmental impact on the Indus delta, reducing flooding and affecting marine life, sparks intriguing discussions about the delicate balance between progress and preservation. #TarbelaDam #IndusRiver #EngineeringMarvel
