Dams, Why Not to Damn!!
For a country blessed with many rivers, the unpleasant home truth is that there is impending scarcity of water in Pakistan because of acute shortage of storage capacity. This will become further acute in the near future, a full blown crisis not so far in the distant future. The looming disaster can be overcome in several ways, not the least being, viz (1) conserving the water we have and maximizing its effect (2) eliminating, or at least minimizing wastage and (3) apportioning it judiciously on a need-to-have basis. While there are notwithstanding alternate sources of generating electricity, power from water sources is far cheaper.
