Pakistan's Ancient Lake which has dried up

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Every year large amount of water is wasted in Pakistan during rain season

The story is always same , it rains in Northern regions and then suddenly a influx of water comes thru and the flow is so strong that it causes flood and property damage, some of this can be avoided by introducing reduction in water flow by diverting some of it to alternate route

If we were able to trap even a small % of this water we could build up a water reservoir which can be used to transform Baluchistan

Extra Water coming from North Can be channeled out towards the Ancient Lake Location , thus forming a large reservoir
for usage for Baluchistan

The damage done due to flood waters can also be minimized which ravages Sindh Province

60% of the route is thru general landscape however odd 30-35% of route is over the rugged mountain range

Instead of throwing the water away into Sea why not just store it in Lake?? A Lake which has already existed just has dried up

With the advancement in Tunneling Techniques it is possible to create a natural path , to divert water

This concept has already been tried when Tunnels were setup in northern areas for traffic , if you can just imagine instead of cars , you are transporting excess water from River and diverting small % towards Balochistan's Natural Dried up Lake



Pakistan does have constructed some knowledge and experience in developing tunnels under mountains so it is not an impossible task , this has been done before

It is 100% possible to divert the excess water yearly to store and create a Largest Artificial Lake in Pakistan

Cost?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well if you can save Trillion dollar worth of water , why would you consider not spending few billions to make this channel ?

Just storing small % of flood water can turn into Gold

 

[flameboard]

I don’t think a direct tunnel there would be financially feasible especially since economic gains also need to be present. However if there are river beds that lead to the lake and are close to sources of excess water it may be feasible to divert some water there and use the water along the way for farming plus you don’t have to dig tunnels across much of the country

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Idea is to store "Excess flood waters!!" Small % to reduce flooding in Sindh
Over 4-5 years this gigantic Natural Reservoir could be filled

Redirecting the whole FLOOD flow is not possible but small % of that water can ease the flow

Tunneling techniques are common now even in Pakistan

Well it is a Natural Lake (Could be ...)

a) Fish Live on fresh water (Food Source)
b) The water is used by near by cities , which thrive after water become available
c) The extra water is also used and distributed across Baluchistan's arid zone
d) Water is also used for Farming in map you can see the region has no water
f) Natural Wild life will exponentially grow i.e Wild Deer , Birds , Trees , Resources


Presently 95% of that flood water ends up damaging Sindh and then falling into Sea

Amount of water we can save can be enough for Baluchistan consumption for 5-7 years from every single flood water redirect


Small Cities could grow around this water source as it naturally happens

 

[ali_raza]

thats lile wasting millions of acre feet of water to place where it has no use
better invest those billions in making dams

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Every one dreams differently I agree

I see up to 10 new cities forming in that region due to amount of water that can be stored regularly
Area is huge 50-60 Mangla Dams can fit in that space

1 Mangla DAM provides water for alot of Pakistan


Wild life = Revenue for Country (Wild Deer, Horses , Buffalo who live close to water source)
Trees = Revenue from Wood Sale , wild trees can grow and could be a future revenue source)
Water = Fish Farming in Fresh Water Lake , self explanatory
Water = Farming , helps promote revenue for country
Water = Used for Drinking

At present that water goes into sea or causes flood

Where would these "few billions" come from?

Do you not think if Pakistan had access to a "few billions" as and when it needed, it would've utilised that money on large scale infrastructure projects by now like how CPEC is building Pakistan with access to $62 billion?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Digging a Canal is not that expensive
Pakistan has a 300 billion economy just need to manage our expenses

1-2 Billion from that is sufficient to finance project

Just digging up land , and building a basic cement channel for 60% of project basic engineernig
yes the tunnels are tricky but doable with Chinese help

 

[Goenitz]

better to feed Hub river from Sindh, during flood or 2-3 times a month. Create forest on sindh./balochistan border area. Make new city there and take off burden from Karachi

I am a big supporter of this idea. Just to let u know Pakistan have built tunnels for water. There is a water tunnel below malakand mountains, that feeds into the gadoon hydel power station.
I dont know about this lake but it seems big and can store a lot of water. The path u suggested is an uphill one and would be extremely expensive. If this ancient lake exists, so would the old water path that leads to it, need to do survey for it and link it to our rivers. If a good research is done, im sure it wont require much tunneling.

 

[Thorough Pro]

The best and most economical way of storing water is in rivers natural path by building dams. You don't build a 1000 km tunnel to take water to an isolated place. Supposing this could be accomplished, what would you even do with this water in that mountainous region?

Salaam

What are the dimensions of this lake?

This idea you are proposing isn't something strange. I've heard an expert on tv talk about such things. He thought the best way for Pakistan to save flood water was to build lakes.

Lakes not only provide opportunity for aquaculture but also increase the ground water level in the area. Which has been slowly dropping in a lot of areas due to excessive use of tubewelll pumps. He thought we should reverse pump lake water into the ground to raise water table faster.

They built a few as well, i think. There is one in bahawalpur if I'm not mistaken.

Yes.
It's really an outlandish idea to store water in such a remote location! Even if Pakistan had $10 billion to spend on it easily, the benefits are so far into the future that not worth it.
But there is vacant land closer to populated areas in Sindh. Not sure what can be build there though.
