What's new

A Tripartite Agreement of $2.4 billion Kohala Hydropower Project under CPEC signed today

There is still this issue.
1. These are IPP's and government provude some return guarantee. Which is not good as we saw what it can lead to incase of arbitration. Should have went for BOT.
2. All these are RunOffRiver dams. We also need dams with reservoirs too. And soon. To built our water storage of atleast 60 days which now a days is less then a month. So after these dams signed, government should now try to get investment for reservoir dams.
there isn’t enough water in the system
and where it’s available we cannot dam them
we r good for 100 years actually if we modernize the usage
daming water is one thing wasting it down the line is another

Who sad we cant dam it and there is not enough water in the system ?

You aware of the quantity that we dont use and went to sea? Need barages for that. And, reservoirs where possible. Its not that there isn't enough water but that we are unable to hold the available water ajd use it where and when its necessary.
 
Katzara dam (always confused with skardu dam) is a really big project estimated to produce 15000 MW and 35 MAF storage, also it will have a lifespan of 1000 years but, its not part of vision 2025 which means we will see some solid progress only after 2025. By then it will be too late. If we start connstruction work on that dam in 2025, we wont be able to complete it by 2032 atleast. Mohammand and basha (when completed) will reduce our existing water shortage, but by then our demand would have also increased (new housing socueties, increase in population etc). So the ultimate impact will be very little. We should be working on atleast 30 MAF combined water projects simultaneously.

And yes, atleast 4-5 major barrages and canals from indus in Sindh. That will increase sindhs water share out of the water which is wasted each year....
We should first work on population planning, otherwise everything will be less than sufficient

Dear you must have read lot of things said with HT #NoDamsOnIndusRiver on twitter. There people were saying things like this and they are ALL LIES!
 
Who is responsible for debunking lies, any body working on it?
Yes! These are not newly constructed lies to be honest. Same thing have been said for decades and over those decades authorities and concerned departments and people with interest in this subject have exposed these lies over and over and over again. One single figure of amount of water we feed into the sea is enough to debunk it. Add the timeline to it which explains month by month quantity going into the sea and it will destroy the no dam argument.

Katzara dam is no joke how will you relocate whole Skardu City??

i say it and i will speak with figures
do h know how much MAF is IWS
wht part of that is usable and wht part is not and how much is absolutely necessary to be thrown in sea
its not that simple

no sir i m extremely again those paid leeches
i have done my own research over the years
the op was talking about making dam on jehlam river for that i said there isn’t much water in jehlam actually to have a mangla like reservoir
out of 195 maf we get 175 is used
and rest is wasted we need major dam in punjab lile soan or akhori

Kindly share the figures.

Secondly the post u quoted was talking about katzarah dam at skardu which is indus river not jehlum.

I was reading about it and it was stated that though the skardu city is upstream but still the reservoir will be so large that whole (or was it half, sorry cant remember) of skardu city will be under water. Thats why they were thinking of downscaling the dam. Relocation cost will be more then that of the dam itself

5th generation hybrid warfare. Those who are anti-Pakistani are spreading severe lies and propaganda. No prizes for guessing who they are........:disagree:
