Dilating upon the strategy to harness water and hydropower resources, the Chairman said that WAPDA is committed to adding five million acre feet (MAF) to water storage and 4600 MW hydropower generation by 2025 and another eight MAF water storage and 16000 MW power generation upto 2030 by completing various projects.
Congratulating the PGES on organizing the 9th Asian Young Geotechnical Engineering Conference and the 15th International Conference on Geotechnical Engineering, he expressed the hope that the two conferences will be beneficial for engineering fraternity in general and development of the country in particular.
The PGES President Amjad Agha in his welcome remarks, highlighted the importance of the conferences for advancement of geotechnical engineering in Pakistan. UET Civil Engineering Department and Conference Organizing Committee Chairman Professor Dr. Aziz Akbar said that the two conferences will bring together the best of ideas to discuss the new challenges in geotechnical engineering with special reference to transport infrastructure in the ongoing mega CPEC projects in Pakistan.

These big dams are great but the actual progress and freedom will be installing micro hydel power which Pakistan has the potential to exploit within the existing infrastructure like the canal system for energy needs and above all it can make Pakistan independent from the grid system for rural areas!

these startups from Chile have done it by creating a small micro hydel power plant that has Pakistan written all over it. The canal system of Pakistan should be generating electricity in summer as the demand is highest in summer along with the monsoon season.

This small hydel power plant is capable of 15kW of electricity and multiply this system across the country and you can have more power generation at small level that is not stressing the environment.

this is a great example of it working in Indonesian Jungle
