Experts urge provincial govts to build dams
LAHORE - Leading water and power experts Wednesday urged all the four provincial governments to build dams in their respective areas in order to conserve 36 MAF water presently being wasted to sea.
The consensus was developed at Pakistan Water Front meeting jointly chaired by the LCCI SVP Ijaz A. Mumtaz and former Vice President Shahzad Ali Malik.
The water and power experts including Mushtaq Ahmad Gill, Dr. Muhammad Shafiq, Dr. Shahid Raza, Ayub Mayo and Dr Asif were of the opinion that there was no constitutional bar on the provincial govt so they must not waste any more time and should initiate working on small dams in their respective areas.
They said that it was not the Pakistan alone against which the Indian govt was hatching water conspiracies but it was playing the same game with China, Bangladesh and Nepal.
They made the point that Pakistan is on the brink of mass starvation as the process to turn it into a desert had begun because of a drastic cut in water availability from 5,000 cubic meters per capita in 1950s to 1000 cubic meter in 2010 despite the fact that water availability per capita ranks last amongst Asian countries and Pakistan experiencing severe water stress.
Without water 20m acres of otherwise fertile land would dry up in a week and tens of millions of people would starve. No army, with bombs and shellfire could devastate as thoroughly as Pakistan could be devastated by India by cutting off river flows. They said that the United States should ensure implementation of Indus Water Treaty (IWT) in letter and spirit, sharing of complete information regarding water flows as per the article VI of IWT, and installation of telemetry system on rivers by international agencies. They also urged the United States to ensure compensation of 0.2 MAF water of Baghliar, protection of water shed in the upper reaches (J&K) of western rivers, and time-bound resolution of differences and disputes besides technical and financial assistance for development of water resources particularly hydro-electric projects. Under the Indus Water Treaty 1960 India cannot stop or interfere with western rivers, whereas in case of Baglihar Dam India did not meet IWT provisions of sharing information. India withheld 0.2 MAF in case of Baghliar.

India links Pakistan’s concerns on water to ‘mismanagement’
NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday dismissed Pakistan’s concerns regarding the flow of water and attributed its woes to mismanagement of water resources and an attempt to divert attention from the growing discontent in Sindh and Balochistan over denial of their share of Indus waters.
Pledging commitment to the Indus Water Treaty (IWT), senior Indian officials blamed Pakistan for making water a “populist issue” and expressed concerns over the issue being handed over to the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LT) for raising anti-Indian sentiments.
They described propaganda by both Pakistan’s political class as well as jihadi elements against India for “robbing the neighbouring country of its share or water” a source of concern as well as figment of imagination. The officials denied any plans to build storage projects on the western rivers of Indus, Jehlum and Chenab, which accounted for an average flow of water of 135 million acre feet (MAF). But they revealed that surveys had been conducted to explore the possibility of small conservation storage projects on Chenab.
They believed that Pakistan was concealing crucial facts from its people. According to the officials, out of the 135MAF flowing through the western rivers, India had the right to utilise 3.6MAF for storage projects. Even for irrigation purposes, India had used under 0.8MAF against 1.3MAF allowed under the IWT. In other words, out of the 1,343,477 acres of crop area that India is allowed to irrigate using water from the western rivers, it has been irrigating only 792,426 acres.
Canals: The officials said India had provided 62 million pounds to Pakistan under the treaty to construct ‘replacement’ canals as compensation for surrendering its eastern rivers to India. But India had not been able to harness the entire potential of the eastern rivers, leaving three MAF of water flowing to Pakistan. Coupled with mismanagement of water resources, Pakistan’s woes are compounded by rising silt levels in Indus waters, deforestation and rising temperatures.

merge it with the other thread and if you can shut up, hogging the water is one thing what we do with our water is none of your business
Why shut up.... Pakistan has been going ballistic all over the world...shouting India stealing water......but not telling the other side of the story...that Poor management of water resources by Pakistan itself are the cause of water crisis in Pakistan.
If you blame my country...its becomes my business.....if you can not contribute....buzz off...

No member can say shut up to you, you are a free bird.
The pakistan is doing all this propaganda because they don't have any real issues with India so they make fake one.
The management requires hard work, brain and will benefit their own people.
Only talk, talk and talk requires only twisting of tongue which is simple without handwork or brain and also they don't want to benefit their own people just to enjoy seat of power and war mongering because of envy.
@blueoval79:
You are wasting you time. They are tuned to think India is "stealing" water. But they can not tell how.
They can not digest anything which contradicts this. I have already tried in atleast two of the thread but of no use. Anyways, your initiatives is appreciated.
some questions for youWhatever we do with our water its none of India's business. India has no right to make dams on three western tributaries flowing from kahsmir namely Jehlum, Chenab & Indus as per Indus water agreement and India can do anything it wants with three eastern tributaries Ravi, Sutlej and Beas.
So, in simple words dont make dams on our rivers and block our water. Water flowing from our rivers in our country and how it is utilized in our country is our own matter.
If X steals the Y's wealth and gives an excuse that Y was already throwing his wealth in gutter so X thought of stealing it, is never an excuse to justify the crime of X.
I think the above example would help trying people understand some basic logic.
dude the news i posted is from the news source how come there is soo much discrepancy in both..atleast i quoted the original commisioner himself, the reported is yakin off on his own
