Darawat Dam, Gravity dam in Jamshoro district, Pakistan.
Darawat Dam is a gravity structure that spans the Nai Baran River and holds water for irrigation use. The dam directs water through channels to farmland across the surrounding area.
Darawat Dam was built in the 2010s as an infrastructure project for water storage in the region. The structure was part of development plans to improve irrigation capacity in Sindh province.
The dam serves farming families in the region by providing water for their fields and supports the continuation of local growing methods.
The site is surrounded by farmland and irrigation channel networks that show how water is distributed to fields. A visit lets you see the irrigation infrastructure in action and understand how water supports farming in the area.
The structure collects water from a large area with different landscapes and elevations, which regulates how much water it stores. This geographic variety in the catchment region affects how the dam's operation varies with seasons and weather patterns.
