The ancient Murghap River has been supplying water to the inhabitants of the Murghap Valley for centuries. Three dams, Soltan, Yoloten, and other water structures, built on the river bed in 1890 and 1895, were of great importance in the development of agriculture in the region and the improvement of the living standards of the population.
The construction and commissioning of the first electric power station in the country 110 years ago is also a historical fact associated with the Hindigush dam built on the Murghap River. This is the Hindu Kush hydroelectric station – the first power plant of the domestic energy industry, which was rapidly developing during the years of our state’s independence.
