Head Balloki, Irrigation barrage in Kasur District, Pakistan

The Head Balloki barrage extends 1,647 feet across the Ravi River, featuring thirty-five steel gates that regulate water flow for agricultural purposes.

The construction of Head Balloki commenced in 1910 as part of the Triple Canals Project, marking a substantial advancement in Punjab's irrigation infrastructure.

The barrage stands near Kasur District, the birthplace of Sufi poet Bulleh Shah, where agricultural traditions shape local communities along the Ravi River.

Located 70 kilometers from Lahore, the barrage supports irrigation across multiple districts including Kasur, Okara, Pakpattan, Sahiwal, Vehari, and Khanewal.

The site integrates water management infrastructure with recreational spaces, including Rana Safari Park, a 214-acre wildlife sanctuary adjacent to the barrage.
