Comparison between Kalabagh Dam and Diamer Dam is redrafted. Comparison {Kalabagh Dam} [Diamer Bhasha Dam] -- Project Features -- 1. Type of Dam= {Earth fill Embankment} [Roller Compacted Concrete] 2. Est. Cost = {$ 6.1 billion} [$ 12.6 billion] 3. Const. Period = {5-7 years} [8-10 years] 4. Length/Height = {3350 m / 79 m} [1169 m / 272 m] 5. Live Storage = {6.1 MAF} [6.4 MAF] 6. Catchment Area = {286,100 sq.km} [95,000 sq.km] 7. Avg. Ann. Run-of = {90 MAF} [50 MAF] 8. Prox to Fault Line= {NONE} [YES] 9. Generating Capacity= {3,600 MW (Expandable)} [4,500 MW] 10. Annual Energy = {11,400 million units} [18,000 million units] 11. Transmission Voltage = {220/500 kV} [760 kV] 12. Transmission Losses = {Reasonable} [Highest] 13. Interconnection Terrain= {Plane Lands} [Most difficult (+4000 m)] 14. Proximity to Load Cntr. = {YES} [NO (+750 km far)] -- Benefits to Provinces -- 1. Water for Irrigation = {All Provinces} [Not for KP] 2. Hydel Profit = {KP* + Punjab} [KP + Northern Areas] 3. Flood Control= {KP + Punjab + Sindh} [Minimal (upto Tarbela Dam)] (* With minor realistic modification in Art. 161 (2) of Cost. of Pakistan.) > Kalabagh Dam is better than Diamer Bhasha Dam in most of features
