From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabar dams are a series of walls and dams found in Sindh and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan, constructed to store rainwater and divert the flow of rivers. Some of them date to the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE.[1] There are around 15 such dams present in the Kirthar Mountains in the Sindh and Balochistan plateau.[2][3]
