India says it can construct more dams on western rivers

By Iftikhar Gilani

NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday said it still had the right to construct more water-storage facilities on its western rivers in accordance with the Indus Water Treaty (IWT).

Replying to a question on the floor of the Rajya Sabha (Upper House), Minister of State for Power Bharatsinh Solanki said as per the IWT, the aggregate storage capacity of all single-purpose and multi-purpose reservoirs permitted to be constructed by India shall not exceed 3.6 million acre feet (MAF) (1.25 MAF of general storage, 1.6 MAF of power storage and 0.75 MAF of flood storage).

“India is also permitted to constructing run-of-river hydro-electric plants on the western rivers conforming to certain criteria specified in the treaty, under which, such use is unrestricted,” he added.
