The Tarbela Dam is the largest dam in Pakistan.
The Tarbela Dam, located on the Indus River in Pakistan, is a massive earth and rock-fill dam. Its substantial size and significance in water management and power generation solidify its position as the largest dam in the country. With a volume of 142,000,000 cubic meters, it's also one of the largest earth-filled dams in the world. Standing 147 meters above the Indus riverbed, the Tarbela Dam's reservoir covers approximately 250 square kilometers (although, the referenced NASA article cites 37 square kilometers). It plays a vital role in irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation for Pakistan.
