Actually this is not new, northern area and Kashmir have been using these technique to grind wheat grains for decades. They created a canal by Simply using rocks from the river bed to turn the grinding stone.These big dams are great but the actual progress and freedom will be installing micro hydel power which Pakistan has the potential to exploit within the existing infrastructure like the canal system for energy needs and above all it can make Pakistan independent from the grid system for rural areas!
these startups from Chile have done it by creating a small micro hydel power plant that has Pakistan written all over it. The canal system of Pakistan should be generating electricity in summer as the demand is highest in summer along with the monsoon season.
This small hydel power plant is capable of 15kW of electricity and multiply this system across the country and you can have more power generation at small level that is not stressing the environment.
this is a great example of it working in Indonesian Jungle

But these small hydro project is for regional area govt or local official to build and Monitor. I doubt federal government can bill and look after and these small projects.
