Required comments from Members about the Political nature of the Problem and most important Kalabagh dam's economical benefits.


The Kalabagh dam is Proposed to be built across the Indus about 120 miles southwest of Islamabad, Some 16 miles from Soan River. According to the Plans Will have a height of 11000 feet and its lake will cover an area of 164 square miles. It is Multipurpose Project.

1-Provide Cheap hydro electricity Power. and Its enough for Domestic and Commercial Purpose no need to produce expansive Thermal Power Production.

2-It facilitate the Agricultural Lands through Network of Canals to all Provinces.

Kalabagh dam will increase 15% of Pakistan's income. 3600 megawatt electricity will be generated. water shall be available to compensate the shortage in Sindh for kharif crops. Construction of Kalabagh Dam will add more electricity generation capacity.
Pakistan is fast heading towards a situation of water shortage. Kalabagh Dam could assume role for making a serious start towards a unified national water resources development-cum-management. It could generate a large chunk of hydro-power for meeting the growing demand of agricultural, industrial and domestic consumers through low cost option.
The dam will have also adverse impacts on the environment, as can be expected from any large dam. It will displace 83000 people. The effects of Kalabagh dam on agricultural production, such as tobacco, sugarcane and maize. Construction of the dam will raise ground water table of fertile land of Mardan-Swabi and Nowshera resulting in water-logging problem which will effect the production of export earning crops.
There have been reservations in the minds of some quarters without any reason.
The proponents point to benefits and the adverse factors have been played up by the opponents.
As a result, the Dam has been stalled.
The integration of stakeholders is a big problem.
