Training of WAPDA officers/staff in USA & Pakistan through exchange programme Remote Sensing to assess the Hydrology, Glacial Melt under Global Warming. 3 WATER AND POWER SECTOR DEVELOPMENT Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan's economy. The agriculture sector is the major user of water and its consumption will continue to dominate the water requirements. Direct rainfall contributes less than 15 percent of the water supplied to the crops. The major user of water for irrigation is the Indus Basin Irrigation System. About 105 Million Acres Feet (MAF) out of 155 MAF of surface water is being diverted annually for irrigation while around 48 MAF is pumped from ground. Pakistan has a total of 197 million acres (MA) area out of which 73 MA is cultivable. The cultivated area (Irrigated & Barani) is 52 MA, whereas 48 MA is irrigated. With large cultivable land base of 73 MA of which only 27 MA is canal commanded, Pakistan still has the potential of bringing about 20 MA of rain fed land under irrigation. With increased population, Pakistan is fast heading towards a situation of serious water crises. Per capita surface water availability was 5,260 cubic meters in 1951 when population was 34 million, which has reduced to 1,038 cubic meter in 2010 when the estimated population is 172 million. Due to excessive sediment inflows in the river water, all the three storages (Tarbela, Mangla, Chashma) are rapidly losing their capacities. By the year 2025, these storages would lose 37% (6.27 MAF) of their capacity which virtually means loss of one mega storage project. An annual average of over 32 MAF water escapes below Kotri varying from 0.3 to 92 MAF. However this surplus water is available for about 70-100 days of summers only. To save and utilize available water, construction of additional storage facilities is essential for sustainable irrigated agriculture which supports about 70% of the population of Pakistan. At present the installed power generation capacity is 20,982 MW. However, the dependable capacity is 19,421 MW out of which 6,516 is being produced through Hydropower, 3,580 by Government (GENCOs), 9637 by Independent Private Power Producers (IPPs) and Private Rental. Gap in demand and supply which rose to 5,000 MW in summer depicts acute power crises. The demand of power is currently about 20,000 MW which will rise to 36,000 MW in the year 2015. In order to bridge the energy gap the new hydropower projects are of vital importance. At present the hydel/thermal mix is 32:68% whereas it should be the other way round. Though induction of thermal generation initially helped in overcoming load shedding, it resulted in substantial increase in power tariff. Therefore, a sizeable injection of cheaper hydropower through multipurpose storages is the only viable option to keep the cost of electricity within affordable limits. It is an economically unsustainable fact that the total water storages capacity in the country is only 15 MAF representing 13% of the total annual flows of 136 MAF. To address this problem the Government of Pakistan (GoP) is developing feasibility and detailed engineering studies for nearly 20 MAF of water storage and 25,000 MW of hydel power. To facilitate the process of economic development and to ensure greater economic and social stabilization in Pakistan, it is imperative that employment creation and poverty reduction issues are addressed on priority. Additional water storages and power generation would form the basis of this strategy during the next decade. In the next few years: (i) Construction of large dams including Diamer-Basha during 2011
