Tanda Dam

[2] The dam supplies water for irrigation to Jurma, Tappi, Baqizai, Dhoda, Shahpur and many other villages by means of canals from Tanda Lake.

[3] Covering an area of 405 ha (1,000 acres),[4] Tanda Dam had the initial capacity to store 65,000 acre feet of water and provide a perennial supply of 260 cusecs of water for irrigation.

[citation needed] Tanda Lake is a protected site under the Ramsar Convention,[5] an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable utilization of wetlands.

[6] On 29 January 2023, 49 children and two adults drowned when their boat capsized on the dam.

The boat they were travelling on was carrying people on a daytrip from a local madrassa when it overturned.
