The site, located near Kak Pul, has been granted Section 4, prompting a request to the District Price Assessment Committee to determine the land's value. The project aims to supply 35 million gallons of water per day to both Rawalpindi city and cantonment areas. The total cost, encompassing the dam, water supply network, treatment plant, pumping station, distribution system, and transmission line, is estimated at Rs36 billion. Construction of the Daducha Dam, already 94% complete under the Punjab Irrigation Department, is the project's primary focus.

The project cost will be shared equally between the city and cantonment areas.",
