Minister for Water Resources (Mr. Muhammad Faisal Vawda): It is intimated that all four provinces including Gilgit-Baltistan and AJ&K have their own Environmental Protection Agencies, which are responsible for taking care of pollution in water bodies in their territorial jurisdictions. However, WAPDA working under administrative control of Ministry of Water Resources is operating major dams / reservoirs in the country including Tarbela Dam and Mangla Dam. Both Tarbela and Mangla dams / reservoirs have no industrial zones / industrial effluent around their periphery; therefore, there are no chances of pollution due to contamination of water in both dams/ reservoirs. Moreover, WAPDA is also conducting Watershed Management Project for taking various protective measures such as plantation, construction of check dams / weir etc. to protect the sediment inflow in the reservoir area. During high flow season, some trash material like plastic bottle, plastic shoes, wooden logs etc. also enters into reservoirs, which are trapped and then removed through trash racks installed at power intakes tunnels. It is pertinent to mention that during construction phases of the WAPDA Projects, National and International procedures and standard guidelines are also followed to mitigate pollution in the rivers.
