Controversies relating to construction of Dams in Pakistan??

There are many uses of  Dams but mostly Dams are made for storage of water and power generation and also Dams control the flow of water .


According to some reports, If Pakistan would not be able to construct the Dam then it will run dry by 2025, so we need to construct the Dam immediately but there are certain problem which create hurdles in making Dam.

Money Problem:

Money is the biggest problem while making Dam. Most of the big countries take loans from world bank and some other banks for the construction of Dams, As Pakistan is already in too much debts, so it raises funds from donations for construction of Diamer Bhasha Dam which cost around $14 billion which is too high, so we conclude that this type of structures can not be made with donations but let me clear one thing. If Allah wants that project to be made with donations than none can avoid that project to be completed. As you know Chief Justice has taken an initiative to create Dam fund so just keep donating in Dam fund and play your part.

Political issues:

 Controversy of Kalabagh Dam?

Provinces of Pakistan has conflicts about making Kalabagh Dam but Sindh and Kpk has the major objections:

Sindh objection:

As you know , only three rivers are in control of Pakistan
Indus;
Jhelum;
Chenab
Chenab has not much water for a Dam to be built and Mangala Dam is already built on Jhelum river so we only left with Indus river which already have Tarbela Dam but Indus river can support more Dams as it is the biggest river in Asia.
The site of  Kalabag Dam is near Mianwali so, the objection of sindh is that, if an other Dam is built on Indus river then the Sindh will run dry as Sindh is on the downstream side of the dam but that is not the case, they are just confusing poor people.

Kpk objection:

ANP and other small parties in Kpk don't want the Dam to be built and their objection is, If  Kalabagh Dam is build, then the the water would enter Nowshera and some part of the Peshawar but that is not the case. Nowshera is 110 km away from Kalabagh site so, if the Dam fill up to its peak level, Nowshera will remain 60 km away from Dam water.
So please don;t do politics on that serious matter

Just think for Pakistan

 Thanks
