Fund Raising Status for Diamer Basha And Mohmand Dam

Well great idea but Government of Pakistan is already suffering due to lack of Taxation

Their source of income is Taxes
Their source of income if Profits from PIA, Railways, Steele Mills , Import & Export Surplus, Postal Service, Freight Transport business , Shipping Industry
Their source of income are corporate Taxes (Taxes collected from big companies Textile, Food)
Their source of income is Remittance

Government of Pakistan needs the Dam profits 4 Billion per year to revive their development programs (Supplementary Income)

So the DAM project serves 4 purpose

#1 Water Safety and availability for farming and drinking etc
#2 Growth of Farming in Pakistan
#3 Extra Power Generation for Industrial Usage and Homes
#4 Give a constant Guaranteed Income to Government of Pakistan (3-4 Billion Annually)


So as for Pakistan this is a National Objective to motivate maximum participation of population to donate and construct the DAMs


The greater the ownership Pakistan will have over the Dam fund the more revenue we will be able to use to grow our GDP figures and surplus down the line


The more Pakistanis understand importance of this Goal they will realize if they want to see their nation move into Developed nation bracket they will have to dig into their pockets and join the cause



This project really is

  • People
  • Government

Coming together to help the country move forward

If Pakistani Banks Conglomerate wish to propose a proposal for Loan for 4 Billion which Government of Pakistan can pay back in 5 years it would be a reasonable proposal , with fixed 250 million profit. A permanent share in profits however would not be a ideal scenario for Government of Pakistan

I think we are making the same points from different prospectives. Private sector participation will reduce the need to collect taxes to fund the dams. Private sector profits from the dams can be taxed easily. Economic growth will also increase tax revenues. The key is to get the dams built ASAP. At current donation rate how long will it take to build the dams? 10 years ??? 20 years ??? We need it faster then that.

Water must have an associated cost in Pakistan....that's the only way people will conserve and not waste it. A water tax would be a start even if collection is a problem.

Whoa thats way too big for me to understand.
How about in Billion of USD???
12 Billion USD??

I've heard different amounts. $10 - 12 billion. Basha is on the expensive side because of the terrain and parts of Karakorum highway will be flooded and need rebuilding.
 
Time to construct DAM should be 5 years period or less
The DAM can be constructed in phases

a) Water safety , Dam Filling phase 1
b) Electricity & Power generation phase 2

So Pakistan can also split the development cost that way
