We tried kalabagh but everybody knows how that went down...

its just an excuse..(kalabagh is like a fictional women which is used as an excuse for a gay person not to marry another women)
in 1983-1988..a study was done which identifed 13 sites..with a total of 30 MAF..2 have been finalized akhori and bhasha and akhori is easier to build than kalabagh

all of the above were part of WAPADA study for low cost quick dams..this list doesnt include projects in GB and upper nothern areas

 

[ziaulislam]

there more than half a dozen sites in nothern areas

For storage, the WAPDA has identified water reservoir sites of about 65 MAF capacities, and other locations with a power potential of 35,000 MW
