Not true dear. This statement is nothing but a proof that you do not understand the basic workings of water systems and dams.
If anything, a dam upstream will help the downstream Tarbela and Basha dam, ensure steady water supply and extend life of these dams.
Bahi please understand this, Pakistan do not have evenly distributed rainfall or snow through out the year. We are a country of different weathers. Your "need is water to roam freely" is not possible throughout the year but only for a few months. And during the months when it is possible, it roam so freely that it drowns our villages and even cities due to massive flooding as you must be aware. Dams are to ensure EVEN supply of water all year around. You store the water when there is more than enough of it and then keep releasing it throughout the dry part of the year. That is how it is. Also there is one very basic thing you are missing. Electricity is a by-product of dams, it is not the sole reason we need dams for. Our main need is water storage for uninterrupted supply throughout the year. Electricity is an added benefit and then comes the flood control.
You are mixing two things again. Water STORAGE is more feasible in the northern areas as:
- Natural terrain like gorges provide a cheaper solution for dam construction
- The impact on ground water level is minimal
- Minimal consumption of usable land.
Dams in the plains are more feasible for water distribution for agriculture via canals. These are two entirely different things.
A dam up north will actually be ensuring supply to a dam downstream from where we can then distribute it as well. Barrages can do the same thing if provided with a steady flow of water because if the dam up north.
Kalabagh is a political issue, aboslutely no chance for this getting resolved. However a dam around this area is required IN ADDITION to the ones planned upstream. These will be used to distribute water.
That canal is already part of the whole thing. Not being skipped or missed.
Nope you dont. Absolutely not.
Ensure steady flow into the sea and your problem is 80% resolved. A wall for the 20% remaining issue is not feasible or possible. How many countries have such walls to protect delta?
well that shows you dont know the basics of this concept sir as you could not have been more wrong.
You know that Netherlands is not the ONLY country that have major city next to sea which lies lower than sea level?
Yes. Sindh barage will help sort out the problem a bit but because of limited water resource available at that point we need more supply. Limited water is available at that point right now and even from that limited resource we are using bulk of it for irrigation and not feeding the sea.
I am just about to give up myself.
AGREED. Let us stick to topic. Any further discussion need to be about Kohala Hydro Power Project. Thank you
