The Sukkur Barrage, located in Sindh, Pakistan, is a pivotal structure in the region's irrigation and flood management system.​

History and Construction

Constructed between 1923 and 1932 during the British Raj, the Sukkur Barrage was designed to regulate water flow from the Indus River into seven canals, facilitating irrigation across approximately 9.2 million acres in Sindh. ​

Recent Developments

Recognizing the barrage's aging infrastructure, the Sindh government, in collaboration with the World Bank, initiated the Sindh Barrages Improvement Project (SBIP). Launched in October 2022 with an investment of PKR 34 billion, the project aims to modernize and rehabilitate the 90-year-old structure. Key components of the project include replacing all 66 gates and upgrading both civil and mechanical aspects to enhance capacity and resilience, especially during flood seasons.

Future Planning

Beyond the current rehabilitation efforts, there are discussions about constructing a new barrage to further bolster the region's irrigation capabilities and flood protection. Preliminary estimates suggest that building a new structure could cost around PKR 100 billion. ​
