9. Rasul Barrage Rasul Barrage  is a  barrage  on the River Jehlum between Jhelum District and  Mandi Bahauddin District.  It is situated 72 km downstream of Mangla Dam . Rasul Barrage is used to control water flow in the River Jhelum for irrigation and flood control purposes. Water is diverted from this point to Chenab River at Qadirabad through Rasul-Qadirabad link canal, then ultimately transferred to Sulemanki Barrage on the Sutlej River. 10-10-2017 Chenab college of Engineering & Technology Gujranwala 9

21. Dams There are two dams on Neelam river and both of them under construction. Kishanganga dam in Jammu and Kashmir. Neelam Jhelum dam in Azad Kashmir. 10-10-2017 Chenab college of Engineering & Technology Gujranwala 21

22. Kishanganga dam In the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the construction work on the 330 MW  Kishanganga. The 330 MW Kishanganga hydro-electric power project involves damming of Kishanganga or Neelam River and the proposed 37 meter reservoir will submerge some parts of the Gurez valley of  Kashmir. The water of Kishen Ganga River will be diverted through a 24km tunnel dug through the mountains to Bandipore where it will join the  Wular Lake  and then Jhelum River. 10-10-2017 Chenab college of Engineering & Technology Gujranwala 22

23. Neelam Jhelum dam Pakistan is constructing the 969 MW  Neelam–Jhelum Hydropower Plant; the country has placed the project in the hands of a Chinese company(CGGC). The Neelam Jhelum dam will be 47m tall and 125m long composite dam (Concrete gravity + Rock fill). Dam is designed for the discharge of 280 cumecs and the storage capacity is 10.0 million m 3 . A 43km tunnel is constructed which converges the water to the Jhelum river. 10-10-2017 Chenab college of Engineering & Technology Gujranwala 23
