Research Title: Environmental & Socio Economic Impact Assessment of Dams: A Case Study of Darawat Dam Jamshoro. Supervisor: Abdul Nasir Laghari Co-Supervisor: Habibullah Abbasi Researcher: Shakeel Ahmed Pirzado (10 MEEE 08)

Introduction Ø Water is the vital resource to support all forms of life on earth. Unfortunately, it is not evenly distributed over the world by season or location. Ø Some parts of the world are prone to drought making water a scarce and precious commodity, while in other parts of the world it appears in raging torrent causing flood and loss of life and property. Ø Throughout the history of the world, dams and reservoirs have been used successfully in collecting, storing and managing water needed to sustain civilization.

ØEven today, water remain essential for the survival of mankind and the future development of the world’s cities, industries and agriculture. ØGovt of Pakistan intend to develop land water resources of the country for irrigated agriculture development, Hydro power, flood control, socio economic uplift, emancipation of poor and needy people of the area.

Problem Statements ØEvery year or a two, there are heavy torrential rains on mountain tops, which create heavy floods at downwards in plain areas. These floods results in loss of: precious life, live stock, Crops, Property (houses, roads, bridges etc) Waste (unutilized) of precious rain water

Study Area Darawat Dam is located across Nai Baran near Jhangri village in Jamshoro District. The dam site is about 70 kms west of Hyderabad and 135 kms North East of Karachi and accessible from Karachi – Hyderabad super highway. The command area falls in Thatta District.

Salient Features (Darawat Dam) Type Dam Length Top width Height Power Generation Spillway Capacity Life of the dam Concrete Faced Rockfill 225 m (738 ft) 9 m (30 ft) 43 m (141 ft) 300 kw 208, 900 Cusec 100 years

ØReservoir Area 10, 500 Acres Gross storage 119, 546 Acre ft Dead storage 32, 283 Acre ft Live storage 87, 264 Acre ft ØIrrigation System High Efficiency Irrigation System Drip and Sprinkler Command Area (CCA) 50, 000 to 80, 000 Acres Ø Cost of Project Rs. 18. 085 Billion ØConstruction Period 3 Years

Objectives of Research The Govt of Pakistan intends to protect loss of precious life and property and uplift the area through construction of dam. Therefore, this study will focus on: Ø The prediction of environmental problems related to dam site. Ø Assessment of socio economic uplift of the area due to dam construction. Ø To raise awareness of the potential implications of the dam. Ø Development of mitigation plan to decrease any negative impact & to enhance positive effect.

Methodology ØThe research method will be involving formal and informal interviews with key informants within formal and indigenous organization. These included: key government officials. Environmental consultants. Nongovernmental organizations. Local leaders. ØThe questioning forms will be designed to identify constraints EIA carry out in the area. The relevant literature will be analyzed on the basis of themes and the research goal.

ØThe negative impacts of any activity on the environmental resources will then be evaluated, and the results will be examined.

Out Comes ØThe study attempts to assess any issues/ problem related to dam site and future impacts on locality and to provide suggestive measures for the dam and improvement of the construction of the dam.
