In the ever-developing city of Islamabad, the Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) Water Management Wing has taken a progressive step. They have launched a feasibility study for two prospective dams in Islamabad: Shahdara and Chiniot. This initiative comes as a response to the burgeoning demand for water, which the current reservoirs, including Simly Dam and Khanpur Dam, struggle to meet.
The Potential Impact of Shahdara and Chiniot Dams
The Shahdara Dam, with a potential storage capacity of 6-8 million gallons daily, promises to significantly bolster the capital’s water reserves. Similarly, the Chiniot Dam, boasting a projected capacity of 16-18 million gallons per day, is set to be a substantial water source. These proposed additions to the water infrastructure aim to fortify water security, considering Islamabad’s escalating water needs.

Setting the Groundwork: Drafting TORs
The Water Management Wing is presently crafting the Terms of Reference (TORs) for the feasibility study as a crucial first step. This is vital in evaluating the potential impacts and viability of these ambitious projects. Upon finalizing the TORs, the authority plans to open tenders for conducting the feasibility study.
Unleashing Hydropower Potential
Once the feasibility study is complete, it will pave the way for tenders for new hydropower projects. This novel strategy seeks to use key water resources for sustainable power generation, mirroring global renewable energy trends.
The Importance of CDA Chairman’s Approval
The CDA Chairman’s approval is vital for the feasibility study to align with Islamabad’s sustainable development goals. It is a testament to the commitment to responsible growth and resource management in the city.
