Good, how much time they will take in completion of these projects? Neelum Jhelum hi 10 saal se khatam nahi kar sakey/.....
Minimum 10 years . if they worked continuously. and there was no lack of funds at any point of this project.
That seems very expensive for a dam. With that money around 13 Aircraft carriers could be inducted or 23 Burj al Khalifas could be built.
Who told you Dams are not expensive ? And well, both of these Diamere and Dasu are at high elevation. that mean's less accessibility of machinery, materials and workers.
But do you know what benefits a dam provide you ?
It produce Clean and Very cheap energy. (2 rupees per unit in Pakistan, i think).
They will store a huge quantity of water in it's reservoir. that mean's , Even if your river's dried up , still you will have water for (let say, 6 months ).. Now a days, The primary purpose of dams is to store water, Producing power is it's secondary purpose.
So in the times when we are loosing Under ground water basin level, Loosing clean water reserves. Dams will provide the role of Oxygen to save us from Water Crises.
A dam of the category of Diamer and Dasu can never ever be completed before 10 years. they are high elevation dams brother, 2ndly these areas lack accessibility in winters due to snowfall.
Even only the transfer of heavy machinery there will take not less then 1.5 years let alone completion of dam.
Does anybody know the total cost involved in CPEC ?
How much is FDI and how much is Loan ?
And if 2 Dams and 2 power projects will eat up more than 46 Billion Dollars then what is left for other projects ?
don't know about the Loan and FDI. but the cost of these two dams are after added. so it mean's it's 46+26. it mean's the other projects will run without any problem. these two projects are separate projects.
26b project is big amount of money specialy for pakistan.......... so i just wana know will it help pakistans local industry too..like electric equipment manufactures etc or all the equipment coming from china or somewhere else...or all it provides electricity or reservoir? ???
it will store WATER . what "more" can you ask from a dam if he is storing water for you in a time when world specially Asia is struggling with water crisis. i take the electricity production as its secondary purpose while the first is its reservoir.
Frankly, PML-N progress to tackle Power Crisis is extremely slow. They haven't started both projects yet. :-s
Also, cost is a bit higher as compare to single Dam at neighboring country which cost little higher but could generate 220% more electricity against both dams combined and 30% more water capacity, Matter of fact, the dasu and diamer are naturally covered with huge mountains give much favorable place. Government should look into reducing the cost of the dams. And i am sure it is possible.
But last not least, Kindly start the dam construction right away.
High elevation.
Less Accessibility to the area ( in general ), which means heavy costs of transporting heavy machinery, materials and labors there.
2nd, you don't have high skill labor in these areas (even neither in Pakistan for dam purpose ) , so 70% of your labor will be foreigner let alone technicians and engineers.
3rd, In winters due to snowfall the construction work will be stop for months. so you have to secure the heavy machinery there, even it will cost you a lot.
So the price for these projects are Justified.
I think you are talking about China's 3 Gorges dam. but brother the location and land of that dam provide it high accessibility.
