Dahimal Siphon Irrigation Scheme - A Unique Project of ETI-GB
Before 2017, Dahimal village in Gilgit-Baltistan faced arid conditions despite ample water in the stream. Thanks to ETI-GB's efforts, including an innovative 5.1 km irrigation channel and Farm-to-Market Roads, Dahimal has transformed. Ziarat Daas, Maghalasht Daas, and Falsiyat Daas, all drawing from the same water source, are now greener. ETI-GB started work on the channel in June 2017, completing it by November 2018 at a cost of PKR 22.51 million. Additionally, interconnected Farm-to-Market Roads, totaling 5.67 km and costing PKR 12.95 million, were built to enhance connectivity. Today, Dahimal's population is growing, with new homes, schools, healthcare, and agricultural opportunities flourishing.
