  • 10-35 Waterworldwaterday 22 March 2014Water and Anex Izharul
    World Water Day 22nd March, 2014 10 WATER ENERGY NEXUS By Dr. Izhar ul Haq1 SYNOPSIS Pakistan has on the average about 145 MAF of surface flows per annum. Out of this on average 103 MAF is diverted for irrigation at various barrages, 10 MAF is the system loss and 32 MAF goes down the last barrage into sea every year. Mangla and Tarbela two mega Dams were built as a part of the replacement works of the Indus Basin Plan. Their storage capacity has reduced due to sedimentation. There are about 100 small to medium dams on tributaries but their storage capacity is small. Pakistan has presently storage capacity of 10% of annual flows against 40% World average. Construction of Kalabagh Dam is stalled due to non consensus of the provinces. Diamer Basha Dam, having the approval of Council of Common Interest and Political Consensus, is ready for construction since 2008 and is still awaiting the financing arrangement for construction. These are only a couple of mega storage sites on main river Indus. Pakistan must build storage dams not only for food self sufficiency but also for cheap hydropower and flood mitigation. Pakistan has hydropower potential of 60,000 MW out of which it has exploited only 11%. The share of hydropower has reduced from 60% to 32% of the total power generated. The dependence on the imported fossil fuel (oil) has pushed the power tariff upwards. Pakistan has 18 small to medium hydel stations and only 3 stations greater than 1000 MW. The hydel power produced by Mangla and Tarbela has been the main stay in the economy of Pakistan.

  • PAKISTAN WATER and POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (April
    PAKISTAN WATER AND POWER DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (April 2011) April 2011 www.wapda.gov.pk PREFACE Energy and water are the prime movers of human life. Though deficient in oil and gas, Pakistan has abundant water and other energy sources like hydel power, coal, wind and solar power. The country situated between the Arabian Sea and the Himalayas, Hindukush and Karakoram Ranges has great political, economic and strategic importance. The total primary energy use in Pakistan amounted to 60 million tons of oil equivalent (mtoe) in 2006-07. The annual growth of primary energy supplies and their per capita availability during the last 10 years has increased by nearly 50%. The per capita availability now stands at 0.372 toe which is very low compared to 8 toe for USA for example. The World Bank estimates that worldwide electricity production in percentage for coal is 40, gas 19, nuclear 16, hydro 16 and oil 7. Pakistan meets its energy requirement around 41% by indigenous gas, 19% by oil, and 37% by hydro electricity. Coal and nuclear contribution to energy supply is limited to 0.16% and 2.84% respectively with a vast potential for growth. 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 physicochemical characteristics of both water and soil analyzed in the present study includes i.e., color, odor, elasticity,temperature, pH, conductivity (EC) and total dissolved solids (TDS). The results of present analysis revealed that the temperature of dam water and soil was above the tolerable range of fishes, hence not suitable for fish survival and growth, whereas the remaining other parameters like color, odor, elasticity, pH, EC, TDS were found in suitable range, which indicates the better quality of water and soil of Gomal Zam dam. Therefore, from the result of the present study, it was concluded that GomalZam dam is good to support the survival and production of aquatic life, especially fish fauna.

  • Pakistan's Sindh Province
    MEMORANDUM October 29, 2015 To: Hon. Brad Sherman Attention: Kinsey Kiriakos From: K. Alan Kronstadt, Specialist in South Asian Affairs, x7-5415 Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Subject: Pakistan’s Sindh Province This memorandum responds to your request for information on Pakistan’s Sindh province, including specific discussion of its Thatta and Badin districts. Content may appear in other CRS products. Please contact me if you need further assistance. Overview1 Sindh is one of Pakistan’s four provinces, accounting for roughly one-quarter of the country’s population in less than 18% of its land area. Its provincial capital, Karachi, is among the world’s largest megacities, and also the site of significant sectarian, ethnic, and political violence. Covering more than 54,000 square miles of southeastern Pakistan (about the size of Florida, see Figure 1), Sindh stretches from the Jacobabad district in the north to the vast Indus River delta wetlands abutting the Arabian Sea and India in the south, and from the thinly-populated Dadu district in the west to the Thar Desert and a militarized border with India to the east (see Figure 2). One-third of Pakistan’s 650-mile Arabian Sea coastline is in Sindh. The vast majority of Sindh’s residents live at or near the final few hundred miles of the Indus’s course. Official government population statistics continue to be based on the most recent national census in 1998, which put Sindh’s population at 30.4 million out of Pakistan’s then-total 132 million, with 52% living in rural areas.

  • Hydro Power Resources of Pakistan (I) Private Power and Infrastructure Board
    Private Power and Infrastructure Board Foreword Pakistan is endowed with plenty of natural resources, including water resources. Besides water supply and irrigation, water resources are also utilized to produce electricity. National water resources have rich potential for hydropower generation, estimated as 60000 MW which could be economically harnessed. Out of this vast hydropower potential only 11% has been developed so far. Hydropower is the best available option in the recent scenario of meeting challenges of projected future energy demands of our country as it is sustainable, reliable, renewable, clean, low cost and indigenous thus can be the principal source of energy. It is therefore imperative to put all-out efforts towards development of the untapped hydropower potential without further delay. Accordingly, there is a transition in policy priority i.e. shifting from development of gas/oil based thermal power plants with merits of comparatively shorter construction time and lower capital investment to hydropower generation. The Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) has already been successful in attracting significant investment in developing hydropower projects, which are currently at different stages of implementation. The world-over, hydropower projects are characterized with a variety of technical and economic constraints and bottlenecks, Pakistan being no exception. These include hydrological risks, resettlement and environmental issues, regulatory matters, market dynamics and financing problems. In the past no attention was ever paid to address these impediments in development of hydropower projects. The government has now taken a number of initiatives to remove all the factors hampering Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in developing hydropower projects. Focus is on creating synergy among various stakeholders including regulatory bodies.
