...Khan came to Mangla to dedicate its new clay and sandstone dam-part of a $2 billion complex that when completed will be the world's largest irrigation network, bringing water to 30 million acres of land and serving the 50 million people who live in the vast Indus River basin...

Air pollutants abrade, corrode, tarnish, soil, erode, crack, weaken and discolor materials of all varieties. Steel corrodes from two to four times as fast in urban and indus trial regions as in rural areas, where much less sulphur-bearing coal and oil are burned. The erosion of some stone statuary and buildings is also greatly speeded by high concentrations of sulphur oxides...
