14
IV. THE LINING OF WATER CHANNLES

• Water losses from head to farm over 50.
• NWFP has 2083 KMs unlined channels.
• Assuming 8 Cs 2 Cs losses per m.sft in the
  unlined and lined channels, NWFP losses 1052
  Cs 7.3 of max. designed discharge.
• Lining of Irrigation Channels NWFP-
  Rs.5000 m.
• PCI for Rs.2248 m as Phase-I

15

• SMALL RESERVOIRS
• A. Existing Dams in NWFP

16
B. Under implementation
17
C) Small Dams whose Feasibilities have been
completed.
18
D) Small Dams whose Pre-feasibilities have been
completed.
19
VI. POSITION ON LARGE DAMS

• Storage capacity of existing reservoirs
  diminishing.
• Need for new reservoirs.
• Consensus between the Provinces on selection of
  dam sites.

20
Sites for Large Dams
21
NWFPs POSITION
i. Wide range of choice. ii. Bhasha Dam
suitable and non-controversial
22
POSITION ON WATER ACCORD 1991 Water utilization

• MAF
• Present Withdrawal 7.82
• Future Interventions
• CRBC 1st Lift 0.78
• Improvement to existing Irrigation System 0.18
• Total 8.78
• Un-utilized share 0.96

23

• VIII. ENVIRONMENTAL/ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATION
• Kabul river polluted due to untreated municipal /
  industrial effluents
• Canals passing through urban areas polluted due
  to untreated domestic sewerage disposal.
• Contamination and mining of the ground water.
• Environmental Ecological effect of GBHP on
  Indus river between Tarbela Attock.

24

• IX. Tubewells Status and Plan
• A) Status

- CCA 100800 acres - Discharge 711
cusec - Irrigated Area 66400 acres (66
intensity) - Annual Expenditure Rs. 224.00
million - Abiana assessed Rs. 13.422
million
25
B) Plan

• Dug wells in Peshawar City and Cantonment to be
  abandoned/transferred to District Government.
• SCARP Tubewells/Dug wells in canal commanded area
  to be transferred to the beneficiaries or
  abandoned.
• Irrigation Tubewells/Dug wells outside the canal
  commanded area to be transferred to the
  beneficiaries.
• Regulation of new tubewells.

26
IX. POSITION ON PAK WATER SECTOR
STRATEGY Total estimated cost of the strategy
(2002-2025)
27
Mid Term investment Plan (MIPT) 2002-2011
28

• Position of NWFP
• The ten years provincial perspective plan
  (2001-2011) amounting to Rs. 163,641 million has
  not been reflected in the strategy.
• Provincial share in the MTIP indicated as Rs
  72,558 million is hardly 9 of the total MTIP
  which is far short of the requirements.
• The projects proposed by the province while
  offering comments on the strategy have not been
  included.
• FATA totally ignored in the report of April,
  2002.
