Hachindar Water Channel (A highly adventurous project)
Nasirabad village is one of the spacious villages of Northern Areas comprising vast barren fields to be irrigated and cultivated but due to sheer shortage of water it could not changed itself yet. Although two water pipelines have been installed from Peson valley Nager for the said purpose which have fulfilled less then ten percent of required. Many years ago Nasirabad region have been remained a thick icy, glacial and snowy place which its name i.e. Hini (Snowy place) proves itself. But with the passage of time and geographical evolutions it lost its aforesaid natural features and now the glacier has shifted itself to front and back side of the village thereby boosting black and burnt like mountains and hills which have a bit little snow and forest at present which cannot provide sufficient quantity of water as well as rain. These natural constraints forced the villagers to take a step though which they could be able to get a sufficient amount of water in order to irrigate their barren fields. To materialize this step they started to dig up a water cool from Chursu pastures which is located back of the village. The place where they choosed to did up cool is situated at a height of sixteen thousand feet where a normal person cannot ever think to have breath easily but the bold villagers did not care for this highly risky adventure and jump start their highly achieving, most dangerous, highly skilled and much costly and time consuming task with their full zest and zeal with the help of Aga Khan Rural Sport Program (AKRSP). In order to accomplish this tooth and nail like adventures goal the villagers did their utmost efforts in the shape of their laboring, cash, grain, vegetables, meat etc. Even the seven years old children did their best by supplying the materials required for the task. Almost all of the villagers took part in this adventurous task for eighteen years continuously by investing a huge amount of money and other materials which comes to worth RS ten million. The total length of this cool is 4 kilometers and it can be thought to be the highest water cool in the world which will get registered its name as the eighth wonders of the world if it is fully advertised in the world media. with this it will be a joyous, scenic, adventurous, ferry picnic as well as tourist spot for the locals and foreigners which will automatically shape and built the Chursu and Hachinder tourist track in very near future thereby generating and creating income and employment to the inhabitants of the whole area.
