Country Overview

1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES Pakistan can be divided into three hydrological units: -The Indus basin covering more than 566,000km2 or 71% of the territory, comprising the whole of the provinces of Punjab, Sindh and North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and the eastern part of Balochistan. The Indus River has two main tributaries, the Kabul on the right bank and the Panjnad on the left bank. The Panjnad is the flow resulting from five main rivers (literally Punjab means “five waters”): the Jhelum and Chenab, known as the western rivers, and the Ravi, Beas and Sutlej, known as the eastern rivers. -The Karan desert in the west of Balochistan in the west of the country. This is an endorheic basin (a closed drainage basin that retains water) covering 15% of the territory. The Mashkel and Marjen rivers are the principal source of water in the basin. Marjen River is a minor tributary to the Mashkel River. The water is discharged in the Hamun-i-Mashkel lake in the southwest, at the border with Iran. The arid Makran coast along the Arabian Sea covering 14% of the territory in its southwestern part (Balochistan province). The Hob, Porali, Hingol and Dasht are the principal rivers of this coastal zone. The river basins outside the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS), the Makran coast and the Karan closed basin, are “flashy” in nature and do not have a perennial supply. They account for a total flow less than 5km3 per year. The long-term average annual precipitation for Pakistan is 494 mm, representing 393,273km3. Taking into account the overlap between surface water and groundwater, the internal renewable water resources are estimated at 55km3/yr, which equals the total amount of groundwater resources. Some of the groundwater drains directly into the sea, while the rest feeds the base flow of the river system which is estimated at 47.4km3/yr. Glacier melt, snowmelt, rainfall and runoff constitute the river flows. The Indus basin has a total drainage area of 1.06 million km2, of which 56% lies in Pakistan, and the other 44% in China, Afghanistan and India. Because of the importance of irrigation in the Indus plain, the water balance of the Indus basin has been carefully studied, which is not the case for the other basins. Therefore most of the results refer only to the Indus basin. The mean annual inflow into the country through the western rivers (the Indus, including the Kabul tributary, the Jhelum and the Chenab) amounted to 170.27km3. The mean annual natural inflow into the country through the eastern rivers (the Ravi, the Beas and the Sutlej) is estimated at 11.1km3, but this is reserved for India, according to the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. Given the seasonal nature of the Himalayan runoff, roughly 85% of the annual flows are in summer, 15% in winter. The Indus Basin has a large groundwater aquifer covering a gross command area of 162,000km2. In 2005, total dam capacity was estimated at 23.36km3. Currently, there are 3 large hydropower dams and 50 smaller dams (but with a height of more than 15m) in the country. Eleven smaller dams are under construction. The designed live storage capacity of the three large hydropower dams in the Indus basin is 22.98km3 comprised as follows: Tarbela 11.96km3; Raised Mangla 10.15km3, which includes recent increase of 3.58km3 and Chashma 0.87km3. The current live storage capacity of these three large hydropower dams is 17.89km3, representing an overall loss of storage of 22% (WB, 2005). The designed live storage capacity of the 50 small dams is 0.383km3. There are more than 1,600 mini-dams (with a height of less than 15m), which were constructed for small-scale irrigation purposes, but their capacity is very low as a mini-dam is normally constructed for an individual farmer. The hydropower potential in Pakistan is over 100,000 MW with identified sites of 59000 MW. Currently, studies under way include Diamer Basha, Bunji and Kohala amongst many others (Hydro Potential In Pakistan, WAPDA, 2011). The Indus River and its tributaries are the main source of water. Its main gorge, between the Skardu and Tarbela, has a potential of almost 30,000MW.
