    Satpara Dam Project Initial Environmental Examination CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND The Satpara dam multipurpose project with an installed capacity of 13.2 MW is proposed, in Northern Areas, 6 km south of Skardu city. It is located 16 km north of Deosai planes and about 3 km downstream of Satpara village. It is a natural lake formed by the glaciers having a surface area of 689 Acres. The dam has a dead storage of 38,500 acre-ft and live storage of 54,122 acre-ft. The project will generate 4.86 MW electricity from with one powerhouse and 13.2 MW with two powerhouses. The project will irrigate about 4,600 acres of land on right side of Satpara nullah and 10,400 acres of land on left side of Skardu city. The land on left side of the nullah is spread up to Hoto village just upstream of Ayub Bridge. To deliver power from the proposed powerhouse new transmission lines and improvement of existing transmission system will be required. Northern Areas of Pakistan is a land locked area with a population of 1.20 million(Census report 1998). At present more than 50% of the population (This figure is less for rural areas.) has access to electricity in their homes and many of those experience frequent load shedding, blackouts on daily basis through out the year. Economic growth in the country has severely been affected inadequate supply of power. Present domestic demand is increasing by a rate of 6 % per annum. The power demand of WAPDA system is forecast to increase at an annual average compound growth rate of 5.2 percent and 6.7 percent in case of low growth scenario and normal growth scenario respectively.

The distribution of Bufotes latastii, a diploid green toad species, is analyzed based on field observations and literature data. 74 localities are known, although 7 ones should be confirmed. The range of B. latastii is confined to northern Pakistan, Kashmir Valley and western Ladakh in India. All records of “green toads” (“Bufo viridis”) beyond this region belong to other species, both to green toads of the genus Bufotes or to toads of the genus Duttaphrynus. B. latastii is endemic to the Western Himalaya. Its allopatric range lies between those of bisexual triploid green toads in the west and in the east. B. latastii was found at altitudes from 780 to 3200 m above sea level. Environmental niche modelling was applied to predict the potential distribution range of the species. Altitude was the variable with the highest percent contribution for the explanation of the species distribution (36 %). urn:lSid:zOobank.Org:pub:0C76EE11-5D11-4FAB-9FA9-918959833BA5 INTRODUCTION Bufotes latastii (fig. 1) iS a relatively cOmmOn green toad species which spreads in KaShmir Valley, Ladakh and adjacent regiOnS Of nOrthern India and PakiStan.

  • Physical Geography of the Punjab
    19 Gosal: Physical Geography of Punjab Physical Geography of the Punjab G. S. Gosal Formerly Professor of Geography, Punjab University, Chandigarh ________________________________________________________________ Located in the northwestern part of the Indian sub-continent, the Punjab served as a bridge between the east, the middle east, and central Asia assigning it considerable regional importance. The region is enclosed between the Himalayas in the north and the Rajputana desert in the south, and its rich alluvial plain is composed of silt deposited by the rivers - Satluj, Beas, Ravi, Chanab and Jhelam. The paper provides a detailed description of Punjab’s physical landscape and its general climatic conditions which created its history and culture and made it the bread basket of the subcontinent. ________________________________________________________________ Introduction Herodotus, an ancient Greek scholar, who lived from 484 BCE to 425 BCE, was often referred to as the ‘father of history’, the ‘father of ethnography’, and a great scholar of geography of his time. Some 2500 years ago he made a classic statement: ‘All history should be studied geographically, and all geography historically’. In this statement Herodotus was essentially emphasizing the inseparability of time and space, and a close relationship between history and geography. After all, historical events do not take place in the air, their base is always the earth. For a proper understanding of history, therefore, the base, that is the earth, must be known closely. The physical earth and the man living on it in their full, multi-dimensional relationships constitute the reality of the earth. There is no doubt that human ingenuity, innovations, technological capabilities, and aspirations are very potent factors in shaping and reshaping places and regions, as also in giving rise to new events, but the physical environmental base has its own role to play.

  • Facts and Fears--- National Perspective
    46 Ancient Punjab – Volume 5, 2017 REGIONALISM--- FACTS AND FEARS--- NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE Muhammad Hameed & Muzaffar Ahmad ABSTRACT This paper will discuss the history and future of preservation of cultural regionalism in Pakistan. It will take into focus the facts and fears in order to get a more concrete understanding of the issues involved. Pakistan is a country which came into being on basis of an ideology. We have a long history of promoting ideological nationalism vs. regionalism. The apparent failure in imposing this on the majority population with diverse and deep rooted regional cultural affiliations over a prolonged period of time gave rise to a gradual change in thinking pattern of the Academia and decision makers. This change in attitude reflected in the slogan of “Unity in Diversity” which is slowly but firmly gaining roots in current thinking pattern of masses and elite. “Unity in Diversity” means Pakistan would not be a melting pot of different ethno- linguistic cultures and sub cultures into a single entity. Rather Pakistan would be house to a national culture alongside diverse regional cultures. “Diversity maintains Unity” will be the guiding principle and it could be the best tool to produce national integrity. Keywords: Culture, Regionalism Heritage, Preservation, Pakistan HISTORY OF DEBATE OVER PRESERVING REGIONAL CULTURES VS. PROMOTING A NATIONAL CULTURE In a recent research done at COMSATS institute of Information technology, Abbottabad researchers conclude that: “…Research findings show an existence of a cultural diversity among different provinces of Pakistan…The distinctive provincial culture of Pakistan, despite its similarities and differences across other provinces makes a unique national culture.” (Moshadi and Amjad 2011:331-344) The picture is not as black and white as shown in this research.
