Wapda warn high alert of Hub dam fluid
After the rains, Wapda has warned that the walls of the 24300 acre long dam have become weak due to lack of repairs for many years
If immediate attention is not paid to this, the dam will break due to excessive water pressure.
Hub Dam is the third largest reservoir of water in the country and plans to generate electricity from it have been stalled since the 18th Amendment
The vast Hub Dam meets 20% of Karachi's and 100% of Hub's water needs. As a result of recent rains, Hub Dam has filled to its full capacity
Chief Engineer WAPDA Muhammad Ehtesham-ul-Haq says that this water is enough to meet the needs of Karachi and Hub for 3 years but due to years of lack of repairs it has overflowed
There is also a danger of the dam collapsing
There is a plan to generate 1.4 MW of electricity on the Hub Dam but the 18th Amendment has become an obstacle in the construction of this very cheap power project
WAPDA officials say that this project of only Rs. 40 crore is not a priority of the provincial governments
Power has given a great blessing like water
but the attitude of the governments has hindered the benefits of this great blessing from reaching the people
