Govt Considering Plan to Build 19 Dams Including Kalabagh

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led federal government is reportedly considering the construction of 19 dams to enhance water storage capacity of the country in order to address the looming water crisis.

The 19 large and medium water reservoirs, the federal government is mulling to construct, also include the controversial Kalabagh Dam, which may stir a reaction in Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The English-language daily, Pakistan Today, while quoting unnamed sources in the Ministry of Water Resources said the government is considering to construct 19 dams including the Kalabagh Dam

The sources said that the government’s move is aimed at fulfilling the future water needs of the country in the face of looming water shortage.

They said that these projects are currently at different stages of planning, while the government wants to construct the dams as early as possible.

The newspapers, while citing official documents, said that so far, 19 projects of water reservoirs/dams with an approximate storage capacity of 30MAF are at different stages of planning and execution.

These projects include Diamer Bhasha Dam with a storage capacity of 6.4MAF, Mohmand Dam with 0.676MAF, Kurram Tangi Dam 0.90MAF and Nai Gaj Dam with water storage capacity of 0.16MAF.

Similarly, Kurram Tangi II (0.90MAF), Winder Dam 0.36MAF, Naulong Dam 0.20MAF, Kalabagh Dam 6.10MAF, Shaivak Dam 5.40MAF, Akhorri Dam 6.00MAF, Barra Dam 0.062MAF, Chanute Dam 1.00 MAF, Hangole Dam 0.521MAF, Bhimbar Dam 0.040MAF, Badinzai Dam 0.300MAF, Daraban Dam 0.069MAF, Tank Dam 0.289AF, Saklaigi Dam 0.042MAF and Dotarah Dam 0.132MAF are also at the planning stage

The report said the concerned authorities had perceived that the country might suffer a water shortage of 31MAF by 2025. Pakistan is currently facing a water shortage which is likely to turn into a crisis if appropriate measures are not taken on a war-footing basis.

In the start of 2018, the Indus River System Authority’s (IRSA) advisory committee had projected 38 percent water shortage for crop cultivation and asked the provinces to use better management techniques to utilize the available resource and stressed vigilant monitoring of water usage

These Dams are urgently needed, Pee Pee Pee can mind their own damn business, I don't think KP will have a problem since PTI has two third majority, since the status quo have done jack shit about the water supplies while at the same time India is too busy building dams and choking our water inflows, If new dams were built, the water situation would have been much better.

I am thinking anp will join hands with ptm! both are communist bastards that have joined america. Commies in Pakistan are buddies with capitalist murica. Now I have seen it all.

Water management and awareness will be the biggest issue people have little awareness about the time bomb that is ticking.

people of KP will have to decide and I am 100% sure they are fully aware of the situation. another dilema of 18th amendment unfortunately. where water issue is a national issue and provinces are fighting over dam building.

Again death is inevitable.
