The project has been launched to construct nine highways in Pakistan with an initial cost of Rs. 102,000, and can be classified into three parts; completed projects, under completion projects, and proposed projects. The completed project is M-2 Lahore-Islamabad with a length of 367 km which completed on 1997 at the cost of 35 billion.

  • Water Resources Development in Pakistan a Revisit of Past Studies
    World Water Day 22nd March, 2014 56 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT IN PAKISTAN A REVISIT OF PAST STUDIES By Engr. Abdul Khaliq Khan1 Abstract Three-fourths of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Only 1% of the World’s water is usable, about 97% is salty sea water and 2% is frozen in glaciers and ice caps. All life on earth depends on water. Population is increasing and hence water availability per person is reducing. Civilizations have historically flourished around rivers and major waterways and for centuries these waterways have been a source of their livelihood. In modern times a remarkable irrigation network was developed by the British in the Indus river basin and at the time of partition the dividing line of the sub-continent disregarded not only the topography but also the irrigation boundaries of the then existing canal supply system. This created great challenges for the water resources development work in Pakistan. This paper discusses the importance of water and its role in the economic development of a country through increase in agricultural and industrial development. It traces the path as to how in Pakistan over the last 67 years various studies were carried out for the planning and development of water resources in the country. It discusses the steps that need to be taken today so that ample water is made available for our future generations for their survival. 1. INTRODUCTION All life on Earth depends on water, whether it is a plant in a desert, an animal in a wilderness, an insect in a rock crevice or a fish in a lake.

  • 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.

  • Environmental Study of Water Reservoirs for the Watershed Management in Pakistan
    Earth Systems and Environment (2019) 3:613–623 https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-019-00131-y ORIGINAL ARTICLE Environmental Study of Water Reservoirs for the Watershed Management in Pakistan Zulfqar Ahmad1 · Mohsin Jamil Butt2 Received: 8 August 2019 / Accepted: 10 October 2019 / Published online: 23 October 2019 © King Abdulaziz University and Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 Abstract Water reservoirs in most parts of the world face the problem of sedimentation. Environmental impacts and land-use changes/ landslide have enormous potential to generate more sediment load in water reservoirs. Hence, the capacity of water reservoirs in Pakistan has been constantly reducing due to sedimentation. In this study, we have computed the environmental impacts on sedimentation load in Tarbela and Mangla water reservoirs using multi-satellite and ground-based data. The total drain- age area of watershed is calculated using Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission data. Satellite data from NOAA-AVHRR are used to monitor urban development and changes in vegetation area, while MODIS data are used to estimate the snow area in the watershed region. Normalized Diference Vegetation Index is used to estimate the temporal changes in vegetation cover, whilst principle component analysis is applied to monitor urban changes in watershed region. Similarly, snow cover area in the study region is estimated using Normalized Diference Snow Index algorithm. Rainfall data obtained from Pakistan Meteorological Department are used to evaluate the relationship between sedimentation deposited in water reservoirs and annual rainfall amount. Results of the current study reveal that increase in urban development and high amount of precipita- tion has direct relationship with the load of sedimentation, while amount of vegetation has inverse relationship with the load of sedimentation in water reservoirs of the country.

  • Pakistan-Need for Storages for Different Uses
    Paper No. 680 PAKISTAN-NEED FOR STORAGES FOR DIFFERENT USES Riaz Nazir Tarar 2 Tarar PAKISTAN NEED FOR STORAGES FOR DIFFERENT USES Riaz Nazir Tarar * ABSTRACT With rapidly increasing world population and limited fresh water resources (around 3% of total global inventory), 21st Century is being envisioned as an era of acute water stress. In particular, the semi-arid countries like Pakistan are going to be hit hard by this calamity. According to „International Water Scarcity Indicators‟ countries with per capita availability under 35,315 ft3 (1000 m3) start experiencing water shortages hampering health and well being of the population. By now (2010) Pakistan has almost touched this level and may approach 19,423 ft3 (550 m3) per capita mark by 2025. Most of the developed semi-arid countries have already created enough water storage capacity while a number of developing nations are bracing themselves for coping with this adversity. Unfortunately, however, Pakistan has not been able to undertake any such measures. Resultantly, there has been a complete moratorium on the construction of mega dams after commissioning of Tarbela in 1976. Only recently (August 2009) the Government of Pakistan has approved construction of Diamer Basha Dam Project on the Indus River. If taken up on priority basis, it may take about 10 years for implementation. On the other hand, it will hardly compensate for the storage loss of existing reservoirs still leaving a wide gap in meeting the projected water demands. Catastrophic floods of 2010 have brought into sharp focus the need for flood control through storage dams.
