Mangla Dam history
The Mangla project was developed after Pakistan and India signed the Indus Water Treaty in 1960. That gave Pakistan rights to the 3 western rivers of India – the Jhelum, Chenab and Indus. Mangla was the first of 2 dams built to strengthen Pakistan's ability to irrigate its crops.
The Mangla Dam (Urdu: منگلا بند) is a multipurpose dam situated on the Jhelum River in the Mirpur District of Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan. It is the sixth-largest dam in the world. The village of Mangla, which sits at the mouth of the dam, serves as its namesake. In November 1961, the project's selected contractors were revealed; it was announced that Binnie & Partners, a British engineering firm, was going to serve as the lead designers, engineers, and inspectors for the construction of the dam (led by Geoffrey Binnie). The project was undertaken by a consortium known as the Mangla Dam Contractors,[2] which consisted of eight American construction firms sponsored by the Guy F. Atkinson Company based in South San Francisco, California.
