410:. The hatchery was set up in 1967 close to the dam and draws water from the reservoir. The hatchery was established in the 1970s when 30,000 trout fingerlings were produced and then stocked in the reservoir and in many other rivers such as Panjshir, Bamyan, Salang and Sarda. The objective of stocking in the reservoir was meant as a recreational fishing activity under licensed sport fishing. Under UNDP/FAO assistance the hatchery was rehabilitated in 1987, and during 1988-89 egg incubators were repaired and set up with new egg trays to restart production. Eggs were imported from Denmark in 1988. These were stocked in the floating cages moored in the reservoir so that fishes grew into marketable size. Concrete raceways adjoining the farm were also repaired and put to use. In 1989, the fish farm was capable of producing 10 tons of rainbow trout. In 2013, the

In the second alternative a head of 100 m (330 ft) could be created over a distance of 2,000 m (6,600 ft) from the dam which could be utilized for power generation of 103 kW with energy generation of 902,280 kWh, drawing water from the reservoir through a penstock pipe line.
