Wali Tangi Dam was constructed by the Pakistan Army[1][2] in the early 1960s[3] to supply clean water to Urak Valley and Quetta for irrigation and human consumption. The dam stores and utilizes fresh water from melting snows in the surrounding Zarghoon mountains, which are part of the Sulaiman Mountains.
