A critical look at the Pak economy

Re: A critical look at the Pak economy

Captain 1:
Well, if you want to know how this water projects happened that increased Pakistan electricity generation capacity as well as agriculture … go to this site and read it carefully … and yea, please not for just criticizing for nothing … but just to learn what is happening … because Pakistan is our country (not mine or yours), and it is best for you to know what is happening and to apprecitate that.

[What I know, not a single dam was built or even started during the corrupt period of 1988-1999 … I might be wrong, but if you know one, please let me know with reference].

In 2001 (2nd year of Musharraf rule) … Pakistan under President Musharraf started a Vision 2025 project related to Pakistan water development

http://www.wapda.gov.pk/vision2025/default.asp

And these are **some of the dams and water projects Musharraf government planned to start and finish before 2005 under vision 2025. **Many started and got completed, many started and work is going on, many would start in near future, whereas many looked into but vision expects them to get started and completed before 2025 (like Kalabagh dam and so on).

I think there are over 950 hydro-power projects on different rivers across Pakistan (some already in operation). Please find them here (Projects would show you electricity generation capacity of them projects too). The list of projects are so long … 950 mentioned here that I do not like to put the names and generation capacity of each project here :slight_smile:
