TARBELA DAM :
The dam is at a narrow spot in the Indus River valley, named after the town of Tarbela in the Haripur District of Hazara Division, Pakistan.

Tarbela Lake was formed as a reservoir behind a dam
The main dam wall, built of earth and rock fill, stretches 2,743 meters (8,999 ft) from the island to the river right, standing 148 meters (486 ft) high. A pair of concrete auxiliary dams span the river from the island to the river left. The dam's two spillways are on the auxiliary dams rather than the main dam. The main spillway has a discharge capacity of 18,406 cubic meters per second (650,000 cu ft/s) and the auxiliary spillway, has 24,070 cubic meters per second (850,000 cu ft/s). Annually, over 70% of water discharged at Tarbela passes over the spillways and is not used for hydropower generation.
Tarbela Reservoir is 80.5 kilometers (50.0 mi) long, with a surface area of 250 square kilometers (97 sq mi). The reservoir initially stored 11,600,000 acre-feet (14.3 km3) of water, with live storage of 9,700,000 acre-feet (12.0 km3), though this figure has been reduced over the subsequent 35 years of operation to 6,800,000 acre-feet (8.4 km3) due to silting. The maximum elevation of the reservoir is 1,550 ft (470 m) above MSL and the minimum operating elevation is 1,392 ft (424 m) above MSL. The catchment area upriver of the Tarbela Dam is spread over 168,000 square kilometers (65,000 sq mi) of land largely supplemented by snow and glacier melt from the southern slopes of the Himalayas. There are two main Indus River tributaries upstream of the Tarbela Dam. These are the Shyok River, joining near Skardu, and the Siran River near Tarbela.

GOMAL ZAM DAM :
Gomal Zam Dam is a multi-purpose gravity dam in the South Waziristan Tribal District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The dam impounds the Gomal River, a tributary of the Indus River, at Khjori Kach, where the Gomal River passes through a narrow ravine. The purpose of the dam is irrigation, flood control, and hydroelectric power generation. Construction of the dam began in August 2001 and was completed in April 2011. The powerhouse was completed in March 2013 and electricity production started in August 2013. The dam was officially inaugurated on 12 September 2013 by Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif, along with US Ambassador Richard G. Olson and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Shaukatullah Khan.

Gomal Dam is a roller-compacted concrete (RCC) gravity dam with a height of 437 feet (133 m). It has a gross storage capacity of 1,140,000 acre-feet (1.41 km3) and the 60.5 km long main canal can irrigate about 163,000 acres (660 km2) of barren land in Tank district and Tehsil Kulachi of Dera Ismail Khan. It produces 17.4 MW of electricity.
