Mirani Dam Project - Project Benefits

▪ The main objective of the Project is to store water for developing agriculture through irrigation of over 33,000 acres of land which could later be increased through better water management and improved irrigation techniques. A model farm using the drip and sprinkler irrigation techniques has been developed at the project site to familiarize the local farmers with micro-irrigation systems for promoting high efficiency irrigation methods. Other benefits of the project are;

▪ Improved marketing of agricultural products.

▪ Employment opportunities for the locals during the construction and the maintenance of the Project.

▪ Regular provision of water for the use of lower riparians.

▪ Development of fisheries. ▪ General socio-economic development and uplift of the area and improvement in standard of living of the local population.

▪ Flood mitigation. ▪ Supply of electricity to various villages/commercial centres enroute, by extending the 33 K.V line from Turbat to Mirani.

▪ Improved traffic facility by construction of 40 km metalled road from Turbat to Mirani in the area and access to local villages enroute.

▪ Recreational facilities in the area for the local population and tourists.

You shouldn't be proud of that, depriving another nation of much needed water is an inhumane thing. If it was anything else, sure, but water is essential for human survival.

lol..its not.

If India tries to stop Pakistani water all together, thats an act of war...

indians, knowing how meek, weak, and ball-less they are, will never dare to do anything like that.

Heck! you couldn't even do a surgical strike in Azad Kashmir, forget about stopping our water :omghaha:

We did not do surgical strike because we did not find the right time for that...not because of you...

We will stop water at war time only ....it will be much bigger that any atom bomb :D

LAHORE: The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has completed detailed engineering design and tender documents of the 7,100 megawatt (MW) Bunji Hydropower Project, and will soon initiate the process to undertake construction of this largest hydropower project in Pakistan.

WAPDA Chairman Raghib Abbas Shah expressed these views in a meeting with Gilgit Baltistan Chief Secretary Sajjad Saleem Hotiana at WAPDA House on Monday. The meeting was held to discuss various WAPDA projects located in Gilgit Baltistan.

Speaking on the occasion, the chairman said that the mega projects such as Bunji and Diamer Bhasha Dam will not only help stabilise national economy but also usher in an era of social and economic development in Gilgit Baltistan.

He appreciated the cooperation being provided by the Gilgit Baltistan government in implementing WAPDA projects in the region. He further said that WAPDA will fulfil all its commitments vis-à-vis construction of the projects and resettlement of their affectees.

Later, implementation status of the decisions taken on January 17, 2013 was discussed in detail. The meeting was informed that Gilgit Baltistan administration will complete the ground survey as well satellite imageries for geographical mapping of Diamer Bhasha Dam Project in two weeks. The matter pertaining to handing over government land to WAPDA also came under discussion. The chairman said that in view of the significance of resettlement of Diamer Bhasha Dam Project affectees, priority should be given to acquire land for construction of the model villages in the area.

Deliberations were also made about Satpara Dam, Harpo, Bashoo and Phander hydropower projects. It was decided in the meeting that a study will jointly be conducted by WAPDA and Gilgit Baltistan to address the issues relating to Satpara Dam. The study will also assess the future requirements of water in Skardu and adjacent areas, their fulfillment through Shatung Nullah, its environmental impact and a way forward for the purpose.
