Diamer Bhasha Dam

1. The Diamer-Bhasha Dam is located on the Indus River in northern Pakistan and will provide 4,500 MW of electricity and increase water storage capacity. 2. Major problems in constructing the dam include financing difficulties, acquiring all the required land which will displace over 35 villages, and potential impacts on the nearby Karakoram Highway. 3. The dam will help increase the life of the Tarbela Dam by 35 years and add much needed electricity to the national grid, helping reduce energy shortages.

165 km downstream of the
Northern Areas capital of
Gilgit and 40 km
downstream of Chilas.
Problems
Problem in construction of Dam are
• Financing Difficulties
• Land Acquisition and Resettlement of affected people
• 100km KH being affected in the region
• NOC from India
Financing Difficulties
• This project require 14 billion dollars. World Bank and Asian

• 100km of Karakorum Highway will also drown.
India and China
• India be an unconditional adversary is as always putting
hurdles in construction of this as she is not giving us NOC
so that we can ask for more loan form international banks .
Indian is claiming this land to be in disputed territory and at
the same time waring us to built dam on its side to stop
Indus river.
• Whereas our iron brother China did offer to build us this dam
but under some strict condition
Advantages
• Addition to National Grid station
• Increase in life of Tarbela dam
• Increase in Water storage
• Tourist attraction
Addition to National Grid station
• National grid will be feed
by 4,500 MW on the
completion of project.
• Which will eventually
result in reduction of load
shedding
• Electricity prices will
eventually reduce , a big
relief to masses
Increase in water storage
capacity.
• Currently Pakistan has capacity to store water for only 30 days .
After its construction We will be able to store water for 48 days.

years
Tourist Attraction

• A dam constructed at such altitude between mountains in


the Northern areas of Pakistan will surely be amazing tourist
resort attracting tourist around the world
Conclusion
We are currently facing water crisis which is effecting everything.
So to save our self from any catastrophe we need to save water
for our self and for our future generations . For which building a
Dam is our utter most requirement .
