The '''Dasht River''' ({{langx|ur|{{nastaliq|دریائے دشت}}}}) is located in the [[Makran]] region and [[Gwadar District]], in the southwestern section of [[Balochistan (Pakistan)|Balochistan Province]], [[Pakistan]] which drains near [[Jiwani]].<ref>[http://www.riversnetwork.org/rbo/index.php/river-blogs/middle-east/item/134-dasht-river-basin Rivers Network.org: Dasht River Basin] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20130415171356/http://www.riversnetwork.org/rbo/index.php/river-blogs/middle-east/item/134-dasht-river-basin |date=2013-04-15 }}.</ref>
==Tributaries==
{{Pakistan-geo-stub}}▼
The [[Kech River]] which flows through Kech valley is the eastern [[tributary]] of the Dasht River while its western tributary the Nihing River flows east from the [[Iran–Pakistan border]] before emptying at Mirani Dam, where the two rivers join to form the Dasht River.<ref>{{cite news|author1=Salman Rashid|title=The Alafis’ refuge - The Express Tribune|url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/507807/the-alafis-refuge/|accessdate=17 May 2017|work=The Express Tribune|date=15 February 2013}}</ref>
==Mirani Dam==
The 302,000 acre-feet (373,000,000 m<sup>3</sup>) [[Mirani Dam]] is located across the Dasht River in the [[Central Makran Range]]. The dam was built to supply agricultural [[irrigation]] water for the surrounding areas, flood control in the downstream region, and to provide drinking water for the city of [[Gwadar]].<ref>[http://www.pakissan.com/english/watercrisis/designing.mirani.dam.for.local.needs.shtml Pakissan.com: "Designing Mirani Dam for local needs"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220810024228/http://www.pakissan.com/english/watercrisis/designing.mirani.dam.for.local.needs.shtml |date=2022-08-10 }}; By Sikander Brohi.</ref>
