Instead of following its natural course, the river now flows through a diversion tunnel 1.33 km long, 20 m wide and 23 m high.
As a result, work began on the starter dam for the Osu Hydroelectric Power Project, which would eventually lead to the construction of the main dam.

The general director and project manager of the project, as well as representatives of many engineers and workers, contractors and consultants, were present when the huge river was diverted.
The Indus River has been successfully diversioned (K-P) with the completion of his one of two diversion tunnels for the Dasu hydroelectric power plant, still under construction in the Kohistan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Tunnel A, which is 1.5 km long, 20 m wide and 23 m high, will also be completed by mid-April this year, to accommodate the large amount of water during the flood season. advertisement
The project is an integral part of his WAPDA goal of producing clean, green and affordable electricity.
According to the plan, the 4320MW Osu hydropower project will be completed in two phases.
