The water will come from Central Asia, and I will bring it: Zardari

[Fledgingwings]

Zardari or PPPP is no more then a Joke in Pakistan

Right dude ! lekin ye baat sindhi bhaiyon ko koi kase samjhaaye..

Why not from China?

We could do that, re-direct the Indus at it's base?

In all seriousness though we need to consider better water management. Everyone in the world needs to consider it. The indus has twice the flow of the river Nile yet we suffer from water poverty. The only thing we are poor in is akal.

We don't recycle water, we don't filter waste out of it, we barely use things like drip irrigation, leaks don't get repaired, the list is endless. Every year in Asia we get more rain than we can handle during the monsoon season, yet every year it washes away, often taking homes and lives with it. Why not build big canals, like those in LA for flood waters? We can tear up cities for Jangla buses but not for flood control? We could have a national network of canals leading to reserviors in cheap non agricultural land, just holding water for use during the drier part of the year.

There is no vision, only poor leadership and stupid electorate.

You people said the same thing about CPEC. Where there is a will there is a way.

Political slogans. Why he doesn't promise them more realistic solution? Bringing Indus water to Balochistan and building water storage dams upstream. Kacchi canal is solution to that problem but it will not cover all of Balochistan.

His other promise is drip irrigation which is also very expensive for Pakistan atm, $700 per acre and that's why so far only few farmers with large land holdings have installed them. Or few others with NGO or government subsidy.

1: China will divert Indus and another very large Indian river's water towards a lake and will tunnel the water back into Indus when it gets right inside Pakistan. They said that due to the speed at which the Chinese build infrastructure, it was a total 12-24 month game. After 12 months, some water would start to flow as the Phase I, 24 months means full diversion of Indus and that other major Indian river.

This is possible? And China it self is water scarce country, are we sure they will not simply divert water for their needs? Pakistan can go to war with India over water but China?

Chins isn't just going to stop Indian water just because. It would happen when India violates the agreement with Pakistan, and attempts to block the water for Pakistan. That would give Pakistan the right to make a lot of noise on the media and in the UN, as well as enable China to block two of the many rivers in that region that eventually go to India.

So these two rivers will be diverted to Pakistan (one will be the Indus). What they will tell the world is that they can't let India starve 220 million people from food and water, and they are simply diverting the water that was Pakistan's anyway under the agreement with the Indians.

China being a water scarce country is a whole different deal. Nothing to do with the issue on hand.

I agree with you 100% and have been advocating the same thing. Plus we need to find ways to use sea-water for irrigation and power generation. There is endless supply of Sea-water. We also have waste stretches of land in Balochistan that is laying vacant where huge reservior can be built connected by the canals that you mentioned and that we can the achieve 2 things, control floods and store the water for later use.

He could not arrange water from Kala Bagh and claims, will bring from central Asia

Both states actually set the standard with the IWT.

Respectfully disagree, Sir.

India being the Upper Riparian state is the one that follows the standards set in IWT. Pakistan obliges by just accepting the water released to it. I mean it can't get any easier than that for anybody.

Had Pakistan also been an upper riparian state for a couple of major rivers flowing towards India and was treaty-bound to release waters to India, we could have congratulated each other by saying "Both states actually set the standard with the IWT."

Not when you are a mere beneficiary of a treaty with absolutely NOTHING to contribute.

You need another party to make an agreement happen. The involvement of Pakistan does set the standard, as there isn't anything else comparable in the world of politics. Of course Pakistan is the net beneficiary and India has been good in this regard. However let's say the treaty didn't exist, what would happen in an alternative timeline? The very real threat of war, which would, not could, go nuclear. The Chinese taking the same bold stand and hitting India's water sources hard, and so on.

Vote lene hain is Moonchon wali khoti ne.Come on guys its not that difficult to understand such a guy.Sorry Man!!!!!!!!

 

[cocomo]

How long can Pakistan survive during war with no water you think? 2-3 weeks?

How many bombs do you think it would take to destroy any blockade on our water (in a war)?

 

[war&peace]

How much water Zardari can store in his tummy?
Can you guys throw some light?
