Water Shortage in Rivers, Canals and Mountain Drains


Step water storage rivers may be a solution. May be this is a new name to rivers and irrigation engineering, but similar technology is in use for a different purpose in the world. I have observed similar water system in different areas of the world.

How to design step water storage river, canals and drains, simply you can dived rivers in the shape of lakes with very minor slope to its natural surface level in miles at the end of each lake you have to build water fall retaining wall to stop water in previous lake with provision of drop the extra water to fill the next segment of river or next lake or next step. Each lake or step will become small water storage dam in miles for the use in water shortage season days.

Water shortage in the Cholistan and Thar is a serious threat to human life and economy of the Pakistan.

Indian water terrorism against Pakistan is another threat to Pakistans rivers and the economy, now river Ravi is becoming dry and shape of the dirty drain because of Indian water terrorism , and further India is building 12 hydro-power projects with a water storage capacity of Kabul river in Afghanistan.

The benefits of step water storage rivers;

1-Large amount of water storage capacity will use in water shortage season days.

2-River lakes can be used for fish farming.

3-River lakes can be used for water sports.

4-It will create new picnic spots in the country which will bring new jobs, businesses and investment.

5-The stored water can be used for agriculture.

6-Storing water in lakes will maintain the underground water level.

7-River lakes can be used for goods transportation. The technology to go upper lake level and to lower lake level is being used in the world.

8-It will bring good change in weather and environments.

9-It will create new parks, new land scapping areas and water reservoir and wildlife areas and attractive to new investment in the country.

10-Water storage lakes can be used to store flood water.

Government of Pakistan and all provincial governments should take serious action against the shortage of water in the Thar, Cholistan and other similar areas of the country.

The writer of this article, already wrote letters to the Prime Minister of Pakistan on 09-06-2012. The prime minister of Pakistan’s office sent the proposals to Punjab and Sindh governments. I received answers from provincial governments. Both governments wrote to concerned departments, but the concerned departments did not think of the proposals.
The writer wrote letters to the prime minister of Pakistan about the matter in 2010 all correspondents are in the record of the government of Pakistan and provincial governments and with me.
