Marala Headworks

Marala Headworks is located on the Chenab River in Sialkot District, Punjab, Pakistan.  This is Pakistan’s first dam on the Chenab on the border of Sialkot and Gujarat districts. In 1912 during British rule, a dam built here to supply water to the Upper Chenab Canal. Then a new barrage built in 1968 for irrigation and flood protection.

The two most important canals of Pakistan, Marala Ravi Link Canal and Upper Chenab Canal originate from here.
