Copyright © HT Digital Streams Limit all rights reserved. India is now planning all hydro power projects on rivers flowing to Pakistan, which must be done once a month, it is estimated that the average annual runoff of the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab is 136 million acre (MAF), of which 40% (about 54 maf) comes from the Indian side. (PTI) Summary of India had to get Pakistan approval to perform flushing – although it is a normal activity – as the downstream regions are in that country. New -delhi: With the Indus water treaty in Abeyance, India is now planning to regularly flush the waters at all water power projects in Jammu and Kashmir built on rivers flowing through Pakistan, three people known for the development, such as New Delhi still tying the screws on Islama.

This did not happen earlier on a regular basis as a result of the restriction that the Indus water treaty placed between India and Pakistan. With India now holding the Treaty in Abeyance after the terror attack on April 22 in Pahalgam, New -Delhi plans to perform such exercises, as and when required by operational necessity – without giving Pakistan any prior notice or sharing data with it. Jammu and Kashmir are home to about 20 water power projects with an installed 3.5 GW generation capacity that can use three million households. As part of the new playbook, desiling was done at three major projects on the Indus beak – Salal, Kishanganga and Baglihar – which have fallen under the purpose of the treaty for the past two weeks.

It is estimated that the average annual end of the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab is 136 million acre (MAF), of which 40% (about 54 maf) comes from the Indian side. “Rinse will now be a regular matter as and when technically necessary, probably once a month during the monsoon season. It will be done across all projects,” one of the three people mentioned above. India is expected to get Pakistan approval to perform flushing – although it is a normal activity – as the downstream regions are in that country. In cases such as Salal, Flushing was not exported for a few years due to Pakistan objections, another person said, adding that flushing is important for the hydro projects to work effectively. “With the pressure of the water flow that remains high in the monsoon season, it is easier to perform the operation during this period. These projects do not have a major water holding capacity as it was not allowed under IWT. After the flushing of operational storage would be a third person. Flushing capacity also offers a strategic lead for India, as Pakistan would be concerned about a sudden flow of water and silt. The non-requirement to inform Pakistan about the water released, holds or flushes will always be concerned and alert. It gives India a strategic upper hand. So far, although the country is ours, water is ours, the dam is ours, Pakistan can have the great benefits, but with the treaty in the Naas of India can make its own decision. The development also comes at a time when India is also looking for the speed up water power projects on rivers flowing to Pakistan after suspending the Indus water treaty, two of the three people mentioned above. The center is also investigating the possibility of building new projects on the Indus, Jhelum and Chenab rivers, and their tributaries. The Indus Water Treaty, which was signed in 1960 by the World Bank’s mediation for the part of river water between India and Pakistan, was suspended by India after the death of 26 people by terrorists in Kashmir’s Pahalgam on April 22. Inquiries posted to the Union Ministries of Power, Jal Shakti and external matters, and NHPC remained unanswered until purple time.
