2. Kalabagh Dam

3. Purpose: As far as I know, Kalabagh Dam project is a proposed hydroelectric and irrigation dam project on the Indus River in Pakistan. The project has been the subject of much debate and controversy due to concerns over its environmental impact and potential displacement of local communities. The scope of the Kalabagh Dam Electricity Generation: It is estimated that the dam can generate around 3,600 to 3,800 megawatts of electricity, contributing to national energy security and reducing the country's dependence on fossil fuels . Irrigation and Agriculture: The dam intends to enhance irrigation capabilities, enabling farmers to cultivate larger areas of land and increase agricultural productivity. Water Storage: This increased storage capacity would help regulate water supply during both dry spells and excessive monsoon seasons.

4. Flood Control: The Kalabagh Dam aims to regulate the flow of water, reducing the risk of downstream flooding and providing flood control benefits to the affected areas . Economic Development: It would create job opportunities during the construction phase, stimulate economic activities in the surrounding areas, and attract investments related to energy generation and water-dependent industries .

5. The Factors which stalled the project of Kalabagh Dam. Here's an updated stakeholders register for the Kalabagh Dam project: 1 . Government bodies and agencies: Ministry of Water Resources Ministry of Energy Ministry of Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA)

6. 2 . Political parties and politicians: Various political parties at the national and provincial levels Parliamentarians representing constituencies near the proposed dam site Local and national political leaders 3. Local communities and residents: People living in potential affected areas Local fishing communities Farmers and agricultural workers relying on the river for irrigation

7. 4. Environmental and social organizations: Environmental NGOs Community-based organizations Indigenous and tribal groups Human rights organizations advocating for affected populations 5. Engineers and construction firms: Companies involved in dam construction and management Civil engineering firms contracted for the project 6. Financial institutions: International development banks providing funding or assistance Local banks and financial institutions involved in project financing

8. Factors that stalled the Kalabagh Dam project from a stakeholder management and engagement perspective include: Political opposition and regional differences Water rights and inter-provincial disputes Environmental concerns Socio-economic implications Lack of consensus and trust-building

9. Risk Register for Kalabagh Dam Risk Identification 1. Political Risk: Opposition from political parties and local communities who have concerns regarding displacement of people and environmental impacts. Potential protests and demonstrations against the construction of the dam. 2. Social Risk: Displacement of communities and loss of livelihoods for people living in the project area. Potential conflicts and social unrest due to resettlement issues.

10. 3. Economic Risk: Potential cost overruns and delays in construction leading to increased project expenses. Uncertain returns on investment due to changing energy market dynamics. Risk of reduced agricultural output downstream leading to economic losses . 4. Technical Risk: Geotechnical challenges in constructing the dam in the riverbed, requiring extensive engineering solutions. Potential failure of dam structure due to seismic activity, flood events, or poor design.

11. Risk Assessment: 1. Political Risk: Likelihood: Moderate Impact: High 2. Social Risk: Likelihood: High Impact: High 3. Economic Risk: Likelihood: Moderate Impact: High 4. Technical Risk: Likelihood: Low Impact: High

12. Risk Mitigation and Control Measures Political Risk : Engage with political leaders and local communities to address their concerns and gain support for the project. Conduct extensive public consultations and awareness campaigns. 2 . Social Risk: Implement comprehensive resettlement and rehabilitation programs for displaced communities. Provide alternative livelihood options and support for affected individuals.

13. 3. Economic Risk: Regularly review and update cost estimates to identify potential cost overruns and take necessary measures to control expenses. Diversify the energy mix to reduce dependence on revenues from the dam. 4. Technical Risk: Employ experienced engineers and construction firms with expertise in dam construction. Conduct rigorous quality control measures during the construction phase.

14. Risk Monitoring and Review Establish a dedicated team to monitor and evaluate risks throughout the project lifecycle. Conduct regular risk assessments and update the risk register to ensure all identified risks are monitored and appropriate actions are taken. Review and revise risk mitigation measures as necessary based on changes in the project context.
