#DamFools . So while politics is being played over Kalabagh dam and others, what the people who are being fooled and lied to dont realise is this situation as explained below. Get sharing please!!!!
Uri Hydroelectric Project - I & II
Pakistan had earlier raised objections over the 240 MW Uri-II project being constructed on Jhelum river in Kashmir valley and the 44 MW Chutak plant being built on Suru, a tributary of Indus river
Nimoo Bazgo Project
Nimoo Bazgo, Dumkhar & Chutak dams can store water up to 120,000,000 cubic meters. India is spending Rs 6.11 billion just to produce 45 MW electricity and that would only possible when power station works on full capacity which is not possible in winter when glaciers stop melting. The more interesting thing to note here is Indian contractor (NHPC) never released any data on its website regarding capacity of the reservoir and type of spillways which is really disturbing as any gated spillways on Indus would enable India to block every drop of water flowing into Pakistan.
Dumkhar Project
Dumkhar project, a 42-meter high dam, will generate 130MW of electricity. The project site is located at about 128km from Leh on Leh-Khalsi Batalik road.
Dumkhar HE Project is proposed to generate 130 MW by construction of 42-meter high dam. The project site is located at about 128 Km from Leh on Leh-Khalsi Batalik road. And Hydroelectric Project “Chutak” is under construction on River Suru, (a major tributary of Indus River in Indian held Kashmir) to harness 44 MW initially in Kargil district by construction of 59-metre-high concrete Dam. Failure of Banqiao dam in China in August 1975 caused a 10 km wide and up to 23 ft high wave rushing downwards to the plains at nearly 50 km per hour killing 26,000 people from flooding and another 145,000 from subsequent epidemics and famine.
Chutak on River Suru
Chutak is under construction on River Suru. In case any of these dams collapse or large quantity of water is deliberately released, it will not only endanger our proposed Bhasha dam but also submerge Skardu city and airport. KKH between Besham and Jaglot would wash away.
Kishanganga Hydropower project
Pakistan had protested the construction of the Kishanganga project earlier this year, arguing it would adversely affect 133,209 hectares of agricultural land in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Despite Pakistan’s objections, the Indian government has been successful in completing the Baghlihar Dam, having a 474m height and water pondage capacity of 37.5 million cubic meters, because the authorities in Islamabad reacted too late, when the project had reached an advanced stage. The Project is proposed to be completed by January 2016.
Baghlihar Dam can block 7000 cusecs of water per day whenever India wishes to. Indian project would divert the River Neelum to Wullar Lake, leaving very little water for the Pakistani project, which is just 70 kilometers downstream from the Indian Kishanganga project.
