476:). Other contributors were the World Bank, who gave loan of $ 350 million, Asian Development Bank, who gave loan of $ 300 million, Japan Bank of International Cooperation offering of $ 350 million, Islamic Development Bank, KFW Germany's loan of $ 150 million and European Investment Bank raised a total sum of 1.1 billion USD for the project. The construction of a 225 km, 500kV transmission line, a new 500/22kV substation, and the extension of two further substations was partially funded ($ 30 million) by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development in late 1998.

436:(4,888 MW). It then runs through a 100 metre wide and 9 metre deep open power channel which is entirely concrete along its 52 km length down to the village of Barotha where the power complex is located. In the reach from Ghazi to Barotha, the Indus River inclines by 76 meters over a distance of 63 km. After passing through the powerhouse, the water is returned to the Indus. In addition to these main works, transmission lines stretch 225 km.

and so is the power generation. It is also possible to have no power generation from
Tarbela. During the months of May and June when there is reduced generation of power from Tarbela and Mangla as a result of low reservoir levels. This brings us to the most outstanding feature of this project that it will provide power peaking capacity throughout the year with full power generation.

Dislocation and resettlement problems are also very small, only 110 dwellings had to be relocated to 3 villages constructed by WAPDA nearby. It is the most cost-effective power facility in
Pakistan at this time and remains valid in retrospect due to the extremely favourable power generation costs in comparison with thermal power stations.

and 8 No. head regulator bays in addition to rim embankments, fuse plug and dividing island. The
Barrage can pass the design flood of 18,700 cumecs, equivalent to the flood of record. The fuse plug has been provided to pass the extreme flood up to the capacity of Tarbela’s spillway and tunnels equalling 46,200 cumecs.
502:
The channel is 51.90 km long with a concrete lining and design flow of up to 1600 cumecs at a water depth of 9m. It has a bottom width of 58.4m. The Power
Channel has a nearly contour alignment with hills on the left side and the land naturally draining towards the Indus River on the right side.

The station has an assembly of five 290 MW Francis turbines. To operate the power station, water from the Indus is directed to the turbines via a 52 km-long canal and five pressure pipelines, each measuring 10.6m in diameter. The head of water at the power station is 69 m. The flow rate through

The primary purpose of the project was to provide constant peak power at times when
Tarbela is generating low. Furthermore, it must be kept in mind the sole purpose of Tarbela Dam is to provide water for irrigation. At times when irrigation requirement is low, water flow through the channel is low
493:
The
Barrage located 7 km downstream of Tarbela Dam, provides a pond which re-regulates the daily discharge from Tarbela by diverting the flow into the Power Channel, adding compensation water during the low flow seasons. The principal features include 20 No. standard bays, 8 No. under sluices
484:
A number of countries worked on the project The power house and civil works were constructed by China's
Dongfang Electric Corporation; a 51.90 km power channel that took water from the river and then returned it after running it through a battery of Francis turbines was constructed by Italy;
529:
The project has negligible impact on existing groundwater table or quality of water due to complete length of the power channel being concrete-based. Adding to the benefits, the power channel under drainage system also helped alleviate existing water-logging problems in this part of the region.
