Abstract

Pakistan’s economy is heavily dependent on water for use in agriculture and hydropower generation. The country’s water resources are shrinking, causing a big gap between allocations and the actual availability of water for irrigation, municipal, industrial and environmental uses. The storage capacity of existing dams is decreasing because of siltation. Additional storage is required to bridge this gap and increase water availability during periods of low supplies.
This chapter is an overview of the developments in water storage and hydropower production in Pakistan. It evaluates existing and under construction water storage capacity to enhance agricultural output and hydropower generation.
The energy sector faces serious supply shortages and financial losses. Initially Pakistan relied heavily on dams to produce electric power. Subsequently, the focus shifted to thermal power, which resulted in increased production costs because of imported fuels. Pakistan’s energy mix became a major issue. Now the emphasis on hydel power production has again gained momentum, with several new hydel projects under construction or being planned. Future demand and supply situations have been analyzed.

While Wikipedia may be a questionable source in academia, it does provide the most up-to-date and comprehensive information about Pakistan’s power plants. For different production modes, it lists all power plants in operation, under construction and planning. It is suggested as a good indicative data source.
