Dams Works Organisation

If you go to the US Army Corps of Engineers Mississippi Valley Division website it states, “Civil works mission is varied and wide-ranging. Its multi-purpose projects provide benefits for navigation, flood risk management, hydropower production, fish and wildlife, environmental stewardship, recreation, irrigation and municipal water supply.” Basically the Mississippi River is being managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers instead of a civil government-run organisation.
To streamline the process of feasibility study, planning, designing, financing and building small dams, irrigation and hydropower projects, an organisation similar in structure to what the US Army Corps of Engineers does in America should be set up in Pakistan. It could be called the Dams Works Organisation. The staff could consist of the Army Corps of Engineers officers, experienced dam builders from Wapda and provincial dam organisations. Because of the rapid increase in the country’s population water shortage will get even worse in the coming days when we will have the third largest population in the world. If we start today, maybe our children and grandchildren will not have to fight after a bottle of water.
