The Sukkur Barrage, also known as Lloyd Barrage, is a barrage on the Indus River near the city of Sukkur in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It was officially inaugurated on 13 January 1932.
The Sukkur Barrage is a significant irrigation and flood control structure, serving the purpose of regulating water flow in the Indus River for agricultural use in the region. It was named after Sir George Ambrose Lloyd, who was the Governor of Bombay at the time of its construction.
The barrage plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the Indus River system, helping in irrigation and mitigating the impact of floods. The completion of the Sukkur Barrage has had a profound impact on agriculture and water management in the region.
