Unfeasible Right Bank Canal
The Right bank canal proposed was to have 10.5 miles long tunnels of
34.5 ft diameter, 8 mile long tunnels of 40 ft diameter, 4040 ft aqueduct
on Kurram River, 12 drainage siphons and 42 drainage culverts, apart from
its 80 miles regular length, for irrigating DI Khan, Bannu, Karak, Isa
Khel and DG Khan areas. It was lately declared technically and economically
unfeasible.
With this, the last hopes of any possible benefit to NWFP were killed,
thus leaving the dam to irrigate and earn royalty (on power generation)
to Punjab only.
