Yeah, Dam!

What Is dam?
Dam is a structure quite large, build across the river to retain its flow of water.
Dam is a big source to save water. Dams have a variety of functions like flood control, hydro-power electricity generation and water supply. Here we discuss Pakistani’s Dams.
There are approximately 150 dams in Pakistan. The major chunk of dams is built during 1960 to 1975.
Pakistan has blessed that it hold the title of owing largest dam on earth which is Tarbela dam. Mangla dam, Mirani dam, Warsak dam and Sabakzai dam also top dams in Pakistan.
Total dam in Pakistan over the height of 15m (49ft).
Dams regulate water and symbolized development of monuments of humans aim.

Pakistan is an agriculture country and its economy depends on agriculture. A lot of water is requires for growing crops, hence dams is a big source to supply of water for agriculture.
Dams are also helpful in producing electricity.

Dams are a great plan because water is the basic requirement to sustain life on earth.
But, in Pakistan slow or no implementation. 

water=life, conservation=life

Now we had face a lot of issues toward dams. First of all, kala-Bagh dam construction is not an issue, because the paperwork and other important detail about water storage and power generation project over river were prepared a long time ago. Because it is a most appropriate option to deal with the wastage of millions of waters during monsoon season. It also produce 4500 megawatts electricity.
But unfortunately, dam has been postponed by the political dispute.

Secondly, after the delay of 25 years, the next step for the Diamer-Basha Dam and Mohman Dam has finally been cleared.
The Supreme Court start campaign to collect the funds for these 2 dams through donations. It has brought much needed attention to the problem of water scarcity in the country and urgent need an action.
But the fund was never going to come close to needed amount of dam. Because the Diamer-Basha dam alone budget in RS1.5 trillion.

Benefits of the project

Both projects, Mohmand dam hydropower project and Diamer-Basha dam water reservoir, will help the problem of water storage and electricity shortfall that Pakistan has been facing for a long time.

One completed, the Diamer-Basha dam generate 4500 megawatt electricity to the national gird. The reservoir also increase the national water storage capability from 30 days to 48 days.

We also contribute to serve our nation because 1 development save our full nation. Here is dam construction deadly need to our nation we need water to live.

‘’water is precious, is the most critical resource issue for our lifetime and our children’s lifetime. The health of our water is the principal measure of how we live in the land.’’

‘’Conserve water, conserve life.’’

Pro tip;

This type of thinking (dam construction to save water, save nation) should be applied across the world to build that will safely and productively serve us in the uncertain times ahead.
