The dam, planned for the Shahdara area, is expected to supply 10 million gallons of water daily to residents of Islamabad under the proposed scheme.

Officials said WAPDA has completed a feasibility study including estimates for land acquisition, water conveyance systems, and a treatment plant required for the proposed project.
The proposed dam will cover 25 acres, design work will begin soon, and a PC-1 will be submitted for approval to the CDA working party.
Randhawa instructed Suparco to conduct a survey before land acquisition and stressed that all procedures must follow legal requirements under existing laws, regulations, and frameworks.
