Hunza lake expected to spill by May 28

**It is indeed a danger for the inhabitants of the area but great nations do not look in to the past but plan for future**.

I think this lake is the gift of almighty Allah, and we as a nation shall unite to cater this danger ,but it is also a diguise from nature.we shall contact China to make an emergency plan to convert this lake in a permanent Dame and its potential could be converted in to Power generation to cater the energy crisis in the country.Recommend

Natural dams are surrounded by mountains and hence “lakes” are formed. If the lake continues to exist due to this landslide we can build a permanent spilway at the southern tip. Once the water recedes in Winter we can work on making this a permanent dam. Why do we have to wait for Kalabagh Dam which no government has the audacity to build? We need to make hundreds of small dams on all rivers and big drains which pass through the mountainous regions.Recommend

Mr. Zain and Mr. Iftikhar Khan, please be aware of the fact that it is technically totally infeasible to convert this lake into a permanent dam. More over, building a dam on a river is an ‘out dated’ idea, because the latest sciences in hydrology, energy and natural resouces management offer far better and far cheaper solutions for water management/storage, as well as for power generation. If we haven’t been able to build dams in recent past (for any reasons), I consider it a blessing in disguise – as it gives us an opportunity to lead the world with the lastest techniques and management practices of using our most vital natural resource i.e., water.Recommend

I am pasting the text I had contributed elsewhere………:-

We are suffering water crisis due to construction of dams by India. Why can’t we take this blockade and formation of a lake with more than 300 feet depth of water, (enough to generate a lot of electricity and water reservoir to be used in draught conditions) as a lesson from ALmighty Allah and plan construction of a number of dams on such locations and affecting least of the population…….

I would suggest the authorities to give it a serious thought and implement the studies I believe, which have already been carried out by major consultancy firms of Pakistan, on cascade of dams on Indus River. One of them I know is “ACE” (Associated Consulting Engineers”.

More so, I have come to know that Hunza River contributes almost 25 to 30% of water to Indus River. This blockade has just provided some problems downstream but has created a reservoir about 20 Kilometers in length but has not dried up the Indus River in its lower reaches. People should understand that construction of Kala Bagh Dam would also not dry up the Indus River, rather it will give us a control to go for ponding and thereafter release the water when required, besides giving us a lots of Mega Watts of CHEAP ElecricityRecommend

every thing mentioned above is right. but nothing is going to happen or change untill we fix the core or root of the problems i.e as u all know our political system. more and more needs to be done to educate the citizen about rights and responsibility everyone have to put a strong government to run the country. i think this is out of context here but to me this is main problem “government”. a trend needs to start to revive our values as a great nation and above all being muslims….. respect and help each other and yes, brotherhood. these little stuffs goes long ways.

I think we can only covert this lake into tourist ponit not in a dam because Natural dam like this has very short life.Recommend
