Gomal Zam Dam, Hydroelectric power station in South Waziristan, Pakistan.
The Gomal Zam Dam spans across the Gomal River with a height of 437 feet and generates 17.4 megawatts of electricity for the region.
British engineers from the Royal Corps first proposed the dam site in 1898, but construction only began in 2001 under President Pervez Musharraf's administration.
The dam transforms agricultural practices in Tank district and Kulachi, enabling farmers to cultivate 163,000 acres of previously non-irrigated land.
The gravity dam structure stores 1.14 million acre-feet of water, providing irrigation facilities and controlling seasonal floods in the surrounding areas.
The United States Agency for International Development contributed 40 million dollars to complete this engineering project in South Waziristan.
