Two heads approved for garrison megacity

RAWALPINDI

Given the acute deficit of water in the garrison megacity coupled with sinking groundwater sources, the authorities have approved the construction of two new state- of- the- art heads in the garrison megacity.

Sources said the Punjab Small heads Organization approved the systems for construction of Mujahid and Mohata heads while finances have also been released for construction of these two heads under the Annual Development Programmed.  ( ADP).
 

The source said with the construction of these two heads, 350,000 people abiding in the cities of the Rawalpindi quarter will get access to clean drinking water while the force of water from these heads will also help wash,13000 acres of agrarian land.
 

Both these systems were conceived during the governance of former civil minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan and were latterly included in the ADP after blessing.
 Tender have been issued toward contracts for the construction of two water store systems.

 According to the sources,

 The estimated cost of the Mujahid Dam, which will be constructed the Chontra region, is Rs937.73 million.
 
An irrigation system will also be laid along with this levee, which will wash,7000 acres of land in the vast pastoral area of Chontra, the sources said. Around,150,000 people of Chontra and girding areas will get drinkable water for which water tanks will be erected.

 

The construction of the Mujahid Dam will be finished in the 2 year  

6 month.

 

On the other hand, the Mohata Dam will be constructed in Raika, the densely peopled union council of Rawalpindi District, at an estimated cost of Rs660.23 million and will help wash,60,000 acres of agrarian land in the area.
 
Sources said aquatic tanks will be constructed and drinking water channels will also be laid in addition to the irrigation system alongside the levee.

 

The Mohata Dam will be constructed in a record- breaking period of 1 year 6 months, the sources claimed.

 

The two heads will be rounded by recreation premises with fruit and flower shops and thick timber trees grown in the Miyawaki timber style for the delight of the original occupants.
 
Also, these two heads will have powerboats for recreation while for the parentage of water catcalls, different types of fish will also be bred in these heads.
 
The heads will be erected on government land, including their catchment areas. The contract for the construction of these heads will be awarded in the first week of May after the opening of flings on April 29.
 
Experts say the groundwater position in Rawalpindi has declined while the water force from Rawal and Khanpur heads has been slashed amidst high consumption of the vital commodity. In addition to this, the fleetly growing population, rising temperatures in the summers, and ceaseless famines have made the construction of these heads pivotal.
