Floods in Pakistan.
every country is facing the
both developed world and
primarily floods are caused
severe floods are faced in
and 2022 according to CM Balochistan
Baluchistan never
and its recorded history
1500 ml rainfall is
specially in Sulieman ranges
7 dams broken in Baluchistan
40% of population is effected.
2. Sindh again never experienced such devastating floods according to cm sindh
there are areas where
10-13 feet
height of water dumping
dado is an example
almost all the interior Sindh
flood water
why?
1. the influx of water from baluschistan into sindh
90 years of record is broken in Sindh
and more than 1500 ml
in the monh of august
3. increase intensity of
baluchistan: recorded history never show such stats of flood, more than 1500 ml rain fall recorded in
suleman ranges. almost 7 small size dam broken which increase the intensity of floods
indus: in indus floods occurs from Gilgit and hazara division
beacuse of glacier meltinga nd large amount of rainfall
more than 1300 ml rain in Malakand division that caused rain in division specialy in swat
river swat falls into river Kabul so caused floods in Kabul. There was already higher level of flood
because of rainfall across Afghanistan Especialy Hindukush regions.
river swat and Kabul caused rain in central kp swat malaknd nowshehra diviions
 The higher intensity of flood was caused in indus river due to these two rivers
 The river Indus caused flood in Punjab rajan pur dg khan southern kp di khan
 940000 cuesec on sakhhar berage caused flood in Sindh as well
 The Destruction of Floods
 Humanitarian Loss; more than 1500 individuals died
 More than 30 million got displaced alone in Sindh
 Atleast 40 % of population in balochistan faced flood
 Flood increasing Food Crises; people displaced transform into food crises in southern Punjab kp
Sindh and Baluchistan
 Health disease; viral diseases are common
 Agriculture is the worst affect;more than 80% of Sindh is destroyed
 Sugar cane rice cotton chillis etc in Sindh
 Livestock; more than 150000 cattles killed in Sindh
 Situation in even worse in Baluchistan floods came in agrarian land so Baluchistan limited
agricultuire almost destroyed
 Southern Punjab and southern kp crops destroyed
 Private property of public has been destroyed; more than 100000 houses destroyed completely
or partialy destroyed
 Household belongings destroyed completely buisnesses destroyed truck business transport
business
 Public Infrastructure; worsely affected more than 12000 km roads destroyed
 More than 800 brigdes destroyed
 More than 3000 km railway track
 Electricity transmission line
 Gas pipelines severly destructed
 Govrt instititutions badly affected
 Solution; disaster prepaeredness is the solution; sinday 1 st the approach has been disaster
management in which management miserably failed recent example 2010 and 2022
 Build dams; in the month of july and august 42million acre rain . dams would have reduced
intensity. Kalabagh dam, if kaala bagh dam would have built it coiuld store 10m acre feet
 Diamar 8m acre feet
 Dasu 4 lakh acre feet
 Total storage capacity 20 million acre feet
 Thata would be 50% decrease in intensity
 China in region more frequent floods but iots intensity has always been reduced ./ 5000 dams
 India 200 plus dams
 Zimbabwe 600 plus dam
 Pakistan 150 dams large only 2. Medium size 7. Only.
 Last 50 years in last 50 years we didnot form any large dam
Alone kp more than 50 sites for dams
70 sites in Baluchistan Kashmir 10 sites
If these used we can have store 100million acre feet water storage minimum
 Prescribed 20 projects can lead to 200millions acre feet
 And this intensity is never seen
 Canals:
 In south asia Bangladesh only mitiogate floods intsnsity nby builtoing canals. And created new
water channels for agriculture
 India also made canals
 1991 irsa agrrement lead to canals in Sindh Baluchistan
 Greater thal canal more than 400 km long in southern Punjab route’ 805000 water storage
 Chashma right bank canal 2; in southern kpk chashma bank canal 2 water capacity 2533 cusecs.

 Kachi canal Baluchistan; 200 plus length in the history of Baluchistan largest6000 water storage
 Nara canal; Sindh thar longest canal in Sindh
 these 4 canals originated from Indus
 40 50 % decrease intensity through these canals
 Storage and agriculturation are the benefits
 Banks of river canals being broken at wrong places, mostly due to political industrial and
agricultural elite influenced
 The gvt must insure that must be properly paved an dmust be broken at proper places
 Noshehra 2010 worst afeectee
 But this time nosherha saved by 20km plus paving river bank.
 Swat devastation intensity redused by paving river
 Fraud urbanization, on water chennlas, swat 24 hotels on water chennal destroyed. Due to mis
management of authorities, Karachi urban flooding is an example, for example on liyari canal
 Lobod canal in Sindh also urbanized , caused encroachment
 Management of department of climate thretning , state must have created more space in dams
and lakes, in tarbela , Karachi kichak lake wouled habe been beneficial.
 Law making, proper law making on the banks urbanization in other south Asian countries
 But no law making in Pakistan, so.
 Law making impowering, floods making foces, NDMA , technological empowerment; pdma also
at lower level; district level. Admisministartiv epawer rescue team, vehicles, medical teams. All
these should work under DDMA collaboration.
ESSAY, PAK AFFAIR, CURRENT AFFAIR
 Need of DAMS IN PAKISTAN?

 To reduce the intensity of flooads
 To increase the water life of Pakistan;kalabagh diamar bhasha , moihmand , dasu, more than 20
million acre feet storage. 40 days plus increase in water life
 Current water life 33 , un suugestion 100 to 120 day, our condition is critical,
 India claming of 200 days,
 Canada 900 days, us 900 days,
 The more dam the more water life would be,
 For agriculture domestic use industry, water is made available through river dams, if not then
under water dependeancy, our rivers max 4 months water,
 80 % domestics 30 % agri, industry dependency on water underground.
 To increase agri Pakistan needs dam;
 Pakistan agrarian economy , more thsn 18% dependency on agriculture, agriculture in pak
promoted in 1960s, two dams and canals, in punjavb Sindh snd central kp were built. Increased
financed and job creation, promoted industry also like textile by coton production, suger mills,
milk, etc…,
 But now agriculture set back due to floods , water shortage, urbanization on agricultural land,
 Water leakage seapage etc,
 So to promote agri, dams and canal should be built.,
 To insure water availability.
 To produce cheaper Electricity, Pakistan needs dams, current per unit cost for domestic use is 39
pkr, as 60% plus electricity iks from hydrocarbons, oil gas and coal.
 Affect is expensive production cost of agriculture and agriculture, as 30 % agriculture is tubewell
based, Market based electriucity, to avoid local elelctricity is recommended. 2019 15000 mw
hydro projects are under construction, diamar bhasha 4500mw, dasu 4300mw, momand
800mw, karot 730mw, kohala1100 mw, sukki kinari 883mw, and then cost max would be 8 pkr,
from 38 to 8 pkr, that will b a great affect on industy.
 To stop water watagw in sea, stop India from voilatiom, Pakistan needs to built dams, Pakistan
waste highest amount in asia as influs is may to agusta is 80- % water, while the need is wuite
low at that time which result in wastage in sead, this weak is succesfuly exploityed by indian by
making dams on westrn river, with diversion of flow of rivers,
 Indus water treaty, if Pakistan waste water then india can use that water , so it is making dams ,
to stop it we needs dam
 HURDLES IN CONSTRUCTIONA
 LACK OF funds; 202021 budget deficit 4triion, last 10 year avrg defecit 3.5 trilion.
 Diamar bhasha 14 billion dollor required. Moumand 3bn$ dasu 7 bn$
 But such mega projects are mostly being built by investors for example, dasu dam is built by
chines company and wb, Mohmand dam by 1 pak company and Chinese company,
once state shows the will, the dams progress is started and investris some on surface, 2018-
2028 is called the decade of dams,
 Lack of will by the state, china built 30000+ india 200+ and Pakistan not a single large dam in last
50 years, so priority is imp, govt has shown will now and 10 dams are being built the work
projects are started,
INDIA PAK WATER CONFLICT,
Indus water treaty,

 Eastern rivers to India, western rivers to pak, Westrn
 India can use the westrn river water if the water need in Pakistan is low. India can use it for
domestic purpose only, india cannot divert the water floe, flow can be diverted through canals,
Design of canals must be approved from Pakistan, if the countries disagree and conflict does not
resolve, then the issue would be taken to intneational arbritation court or wb
 PRO(BLEM;
 Decline in water flow almost 50 %,
 Decline in canals , Chenab , jehlum, also
 The Water life of pak is endangered, as agri, domestic life is 50% dependent on river
 Because of more highet given to dams like kishan ganda ratley pak dual buglihar etc,
 Diversions, wuller barrage, River flow is diverted through wuulerr barrage,
 HOW TO STOP INDIA,
 Build dams, the more the dams builted, the less water watage into the sea, india will habe no
chance to exploit the water riughts of Pakistan,
 Pakistan must fight its case more proactively, through legal praparedness by we cannot based
our aurgument on the basis of indus water treaty , we have to build our case on geneva
convention as well
 Strong case on technical grounds for example, Height issue to be resolved, inspection of
projects build by India
 The team that would contest should contain legal technical experts plus politicians, in past the
tean was composed of polititians and beurocrates,
 India had been waging water war for so long, on indus chehlun and Chenab, to avoid military
war it is compulsory to take steps,
