Construction Of Charvak Reservoir
It is said that necessity is the mother of creation and it cannot get more truer in the case of Charvak. The construction of this artificial dam began in 1964 when the need was felt for low-cost environment friendly electricity which led to the creation of Charvak hydropower. The dam was completed in 1970 damming the Chirchiq River which since then is functioning and providing electricity to the surrounding areas.
