摘要：

Pakistan has over 169km(3) (137 MAF) of flows in its rivers annually for irrigation and 54000 MW economically viable hydropower potential. Out of which only live storage capacity of 22 km 3 (18 MAF) and 6547 MW-of hydel potential have been developed which are about 12% of flows and total identified hydropower potential available in the country. This paper highlights the economic benefits gained by the existing large multipurpose dam's i.e. Mangla and Tarbela commissioned in 1967 and 1976 respectively. These constitute about 70% of total existing storage capacity and hydropower infrastructure. Moreover the adverse impact on the economy of Pakistan due to delay in construction of the Kalabagh Dam (3600 MW, LS 7.4 km(3)) since 1996 to date. The results show that sustainability in the economy of country is only possible by building dams for storage, hydropower and flood control.
