The Indus River is more than a waterway – it’s the lifeline of Sindh. But for over a century, mega-projects have diverted its flow, eroded its banks, and uprooted the communities who depend on it.
Our interactive map traces the history and impact of the Six Canals Scheme and other large-scale interventions, from the colonial canal colonies to the LBOD and Tarbela Dam. These projects promise “development” — but deliver water scarcity, flooding, and displacement.
This is the story of the river’s resistance – and the fight to protect its people and ecosystems before it’s too late.
