estimates from kalabagh dam are from in 1970s current estimate show that its goignt o be cheaper to build bhasha dam due to low cost of land, displaced population rehabilitation in kalabagh dam will cost 10X more than building the KKH 2x times over(its a small 20 feet single road!)& what about Diamer Basha?? Do you have any idea about other expense other then cost? 100KM Karakoram road will be submerged you will need to construct 200 KM Kara koram road for new route. you do know cost and risk involved constructing it? and what will you do once its constructed? nothing unless you build main 500KV line to integrate it in the system.
& for the record DIamamer Basha Dam site is 40KM away from Fault line.
power transmission is 200km from load center
- production via bhasha dam is TWICE (21 BILLION UNITS VS 11 BILLION UNITS)
- bhasha dam will increase life of all down stream projects like tarbela
- it will increase production down stream dasu(stage 2 not possible without bhasha), tarbela and GB, chashma, this will mean 20 billion ore units(10 billion in dasu and 10 billion in GB, tarbela, chashma due to more water)
- in nutshell bhasha dam production effects will be ~3-4 times more than kalabagh dam with less displaced people at same or slightly less cost(land cost was estimated at 100 billion rupees vs 3 times more in kalabagh
- pakistan will need more dams and there are ample other sites available
- once all dams are build, kalabgh dam can than be debated and built if needed
- kalabagh dam is simply an excuse for politicians not to build any dams as it requires money which govts like to spend on poltical projects, e.g govt spending nothing on pwer sector all private production investment projects and no distribution projects and you see where we are
