Mohmand Dam - 800MW
Did you know Pakistan is building a massive dam on the Swat River in Mohmand District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa? The Mohmand Dam is a major multipurpose project designed to strengthen the country's water and energy security.
Concrete-Faced Rock-Fill Dam (CFRD) — compacted rock provides structural stability, while a concrete face on the upstream side helps prevent water seepage.

Impressive Engineering Dimensions:

Height: 213 metres (699 feet), measured from the foundation to the crest

Crest elevation: EL 563.0 m, with the parapet wall reaching EL 564.5 m

800 MW of planned hydropower generation

Flood mitigation

Irrigation water for agriculture

Drinking water supply for Peshawar and surrounding areas
From massive rock-fill embankments to precision-engineered slopes, Mohmand Dam showcases the scale and complexity of modern hydropower construction.
