- The Kachhi Canal Project is a 499-km long canal project situated in the Balochistan and Punjab Provinces of Pakistan. It starts from Taunsa Barrage at Indus River and terminates in Balochistan. The canal provides sustainable irrigation water supply to 72,000 acres of agricultural land in Balochistan and 30,000 acres of land in Punjab. Cost of the project, after its revision is now Rs.80.5 billion. The water infrastructure and irrigated agriculture in Balochistan will achieve a landmark, when Kachhi Canal Project will be completed. The project was started in 2002, was almost abandoned due to grossly cost and time overrun for various reasons. The length of main canal is 399 km, out of which 305 km lies in Punjab region while 94 km are in Balochistan. Kachi Kanal project is divided into three phases. Phase 1 comprises six sections totaling 399 km: (305 km Punjab, 94 Baluchistan): 1.
* KC-1 -- 6 KM -- Completed. 2.
* KC-2 -- 20 KM -- Completed. 3.
* KC-3 -- 6 KM -- Completed. 4.
* KC-4 -- 129 KM -- Completed. 5.
* KC-5 -- 144 KM -- Completed. 6.
* KC-6A -- 49 KM -- In Progress. 7.
* KC-6B -- 45 KM -- In Progress. Phase 2 comprises one section of 60 km in Baluchistan: 1.
* KC-7 -- 60 KM -- Not Started. Phase 3 comprises one section of 40 km in Baluchistan: 1.
* KC-8 -- 40 KM -- Not Started. Total System Length after completion of all phased will be 499 KM [399KM + 60KM+ 40 KM], Baluchistan would get 194 KM, and Punjab will get 304 KM of Kanal. The 399 kilometer long main canal (out of which 351 kilometers is lined) takes off from Taunsa Barrage in Muzaffar Garh district of Punjab province and ends at Dera Bugti district in Balochistan province.
