Islam Barrage, Water management infrastructure in Hasilpur Tehsil, Pakistan

The Islam Barrage extends 503 meters across the Sutlej River, with a discharge capacity of 8,500 cubic meters per second through its control gates.

The construction of Islam Barrage started in 1922 and reached completion in 1927 as an essential component of the Sutlej Valley Project.

The barrage supports the agricultural traditions of Southern Punjab by providing water to thousands of farmers through its three main distribution canals.

The structure manages water distribution through the Mailsi Canal, Bahawal Canal, and Qaim Canal, serving more than 500,000 hectares of agricultural land.

The barrage functions as a critical control point for seasonal river flow, managing both flood waters and maintaining supply during dry periods.
