Floods in Kashmir are third Reminder of Nature to India & Pakistan to
build storage dams as soon as possible.
build storage dams as soon as possible.
2010 floods devastated Pakistan – worse than triple disasters of
Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Power Reactors Meltdown in Japan.

Uttarakhand Tragedy was worst in terms of loss of life last year.
Floods in Jammu & Kashmir underway this year are latest reminder to
India and Pakistan to build Multipurpose Dams with Storage to STOP
Floods.
India and Pakistan to build Multipurpose Dams with Storage to STOP
Floods.
In the following PK river flow data – Jhelum River flows on
September05, 2014 were 310,000 cusecs in to Mangla Dam and Dam
releases were just 15,000 cusecs that SAVED down stream of floods –
controlled releases for Irrigation. Foods in Jhelum were partly
absorbed in Lakes, storages in Mangla Dam on Jhelum River completely
prevented floods over 500,000 cusecs down stream of Mangla Dam in
Pakistan.

1,500,000 Cusec Flows From India 50% Absorbed 4 Storage Dams
Chenab River (Baglihar Dam and other ROR Projects) have no storages –
floods in Pakistan are almost 500,000 cusecs – this doesn’t include
down stream of Dams on Ravi, Beas and Satluj and Medium Rivers like
Tawi which alone was discharging say 200,000 cusecs.

Foods releases from just Three Rivers Chenab, Jhelum and Tawi exceed
1000,000 Cusecs.

Without Four Storage dams Bhakra, Pong, Thein and Mangal Pakistan
would have been hit by over 1.5 million cusecs of CUMULATIVE PEAK
Indus River Floods Just From Indian Side – which is 50% more than 2010
PEAK INDUS FLOWS of around 9,50,000 cusecs.

Without Bhakra, Mangla, Pong & Thein Dams Pakistan Punjab Would Have
Been SEVERELY Hit.
Been SEVERELY Hit.
UP and Bihar are getting SEVERE floods every year in absence of
Storage Dams in Himalayas in Ganga Dams. Delhi too is VULNERABLE to
floods.

India Has 200000 MW, Pakistan 100000 MW Hydro Potential

The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) is vigorously carrying out
feasibility studies and engineering designs for various hydropower
projects with accumulative generation capacity of more than 25000 MW.
Most of these studies are at an advance stage of completion. After the
completion of these projects the installed capacity would rise to
around 42000 MW by the end of the year 2020. Pakistan has been blessed
with ample water resources but could store only 13% of the annual flow
of its rivers. The storage is fast depleting due to sedimentation. In
contrast US has developed 497% storage capacity of annual flow of
River Colorado; Egypt possesses 281% of River Nile and India 35% on
Sutlej-Bias Basin. All these statistics warrant construction of number
of reservoirs to enhance availability of water which stands at 1011
cubic meter per capita. Anything below 1000 cubic meter tantamount to
a crisis situation. The hydropower potential in Pakistan is over
100,000 MW with identified sites of 59000 MW. Currently, studies under
way include Diamer Basha (4500 MW), Bunji (7100 MW) and Kohala (1100
MW) amongst many others.

Pakistan with 185 billion tons of coal reserves, the fourth largest in
the world, is under utilizing this resource. In the overall energy
mix, the share of coal power is only 7% as compared to world average
of 40%. Coal is the main source for producing cheaper electricity and
the Government has decided to enhance the share of coal in the overall
energy mix of upto 18% in 2030. The Government is striving hard to
minimize the gap between consumption and generation of electricity at
affordable rate.
