Sukkur Barrage, Irrigation barrage in Sukkur, Pakistan.
The Sukkur Barrage spans across the Indus River with 66 gates, each measuring 18 meters wide, controlling water flow for agricultural purposes.
Construction of the barrage began in 1923 under British engineer Sir Charlton Harrison and reached completion in 1932, marking a transformation in regional irrigation.
The barrage serves as the primary water source for farmers in Sindh province, supporting traditional agricultural practices across 3.2 million hectares of land.
Seven major canals branch out from the barrage to distribute water throughout Sindh, from Sukkur district in the north to Mirpurkhas district in the south.
The Nara Canal, extending from the barrage, carries a water volume comparable to the River Thames and stands as the longest irrigation canal in the region.
