Approaching the Drainage IssueSymptoms rather Causes
Big Projects (SCARP, LBOD and Now RBOD)
Ignoring Sources of Drainable surplus

Ideological Division
People Focused, Environment Friendly, Economically Efficient and Financially Beneficial Philosophy
Versus Over Simplified, Engineering Structures
Guided by Tunnel vision.

Why to Hide? Issue of Transparency
No single Public ConsultationHiding project related InformationWhy Information sharing is Essential: Generates wider public acceptance· Ensures transparency and accountability· Gives space for wider public discourse and participation· Pools knowledge base from both experts and local
wisdom· Corrects project/program at planning phase

Origin of Disaster
Converting Fresh Water MNV into Drain by WAPDA in 1984
Gambling with Manchar Lake
![Page 8: Monument of Destruction: Right Bank Outfall Drainage Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b6b550346895dc96111/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
State of Decision Making/Proposals
Devastation of MancharIndus Link : 43 billionBaran Nai : 45 billionLakha Range Foothills: 76 billionBaran Nai though Tunnel: 84 Finally RBOD: 14 billion
![Page 9: Monument of Destruction: Right Bank Outfall Drainage Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b6b550346895dc96111/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Basic Logic of Planners
Transport drainage water from 32 drains
Saving of Manchar Lake from drainage water
Saving River Indus from Pollution
![Page 10: Monument of Destruction: Right Bank Outfall Drainage Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b6b550346895dc96111/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Reason to Ask?
Why toxic drainage effluent disposed in Manchar?
Who was responsible?
What accountability mechanism is to deal with such kind of crimes?

Who Cares? Uprooting of Villages
Complete demolitionOf 75 historical villages
Dislocation of 20000 People
Indirect effect on 200 Villages and 50000

Discontinuation of walk Ways
Increased women workload
Damage to Mosques
Damage to Roads, Electricity & Water Supply

Snatching Land from Indus River

Destruction of Ecology/Hill Torrent Management
Disconnecting Hill Torrent From Indus
Playing with NatureConvergence of Nai’s
Future Flooding

Compensation Versus Emotion
Villages represent cultural emotions
Historical Right of settled piece of land
Putting Rupees value to every thing?
Involuntary Dislocation
No choice, No land to settle Where to Go?

Grave Yard of Livelihood: Cont.
Historical Water & land Rights: VersusDoctrine of Legality
Market Value versus Right to Live
Third Major Development in Area of 1.5 Km wide

Grave Yard of Livelihood
Discontinuation of 100 W/C
Leaving 50000 acres land Uncultivated15000 acres used by Drain
Discontinuing Aral WahDiscontinuation of Inundation Water sources and lift irrigation

Environment – Poverty Nexus
Overflowing and Secondary Salinity
Declining Quality of Ground Water
Seepage will cause water logging and Salinity
Touching Drain to Indus River
![Page 20: Monument of Destruction: Right Bank Outfall Drainage Project](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062218/56815b6b550346895dc96111/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Environmental-Poverty Nexus Cont.
Seepage and security of KB Feeder
Water Quality of Kenjhar, Hadero and Haleji Lake
Kotri Industrial Area Effluent Sea Intrusion, Devastation for Indus Delta at
Gharo

Biological Extinction and Poverty
Declined water quality in Kenjhar, Haleji and Hadero reduce number of migratory birds
Overflowing of saline water & Adding Industrial effluent cause harm to fish
Toxic effluent destroy aquatics life

Equity
Benefit of upstream users
Loss of Downstream users mostly Poor
Inbuilt inequity in Project Design

Link of U/S Fresh Water Development and D/S Drains
Is there any link between: Fresh water development work at U/S & Drainage
work at D/S
Who Guarantees completion of work ? Will it not end at D/S kotri and dispose in Indus? What Experiences tell us (LBOD, CRBIP)?

Goodbye to Indus Delta
No Fresh Water D/S Kotri
LBOD on Left Side
RBOD on Right SideWhat do You Think aboutIndus Delta and Coast from 50 year now?
