Impacts of indian dams on Pakistani rivers will be the following; The Indian move could prove disastrous for Pakistan. India has already constructed 50-60, medium-sized projects and it plans more than a hundred. One hundred and fifty will be in the small catchment areas in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Many trees will be cut, and the resulting environmental impact will also impact Pakistan’s water, due to the environmental degradation and increased sediment flow. Already, we are facing a shortage in the western rivers, how can we then compensate for the lack of water in the eastern rivers? India’s dam-failure record has been worst, as nine of its dams have so far collapsed,” the latest failure was Jaswant Sagar Dam of 43.38 meters height that collapsed in July 2007. the team stated that the BHP would deprive Pakistan of 26 to 28 per cent water in winter season thereby affecting Pakistan's irrigation water requirements especially during the Rabi crop season Another crisis in the making is the Kishanganga hydroelectric project on the Neelum River in India. The average flow of Neelum water will drop by 21 per cent in Pakistan, which will not only cause energy losses amounting to billions of rupees but also serious environmental damage. In due course, India will have the ability to damage Pakistan's resources. These dams have also enabled India to release huge quantity of water downstream to not only cause damage to standing crops but also to our canal systems. The reduced water inflows would bring about huge loss to cropped areas of Punjab, besides causing early depletion of Mangla Dam. (Source: aboutcivil.org) #DamFools !!
