Salam,

I am the designer of this project, and anybody can reach me at

Dear MAS, your point about 18000 has a little glicth, it is not GW, it is GWH that is a unit of Energy. bare MW or GW are units of power. Energy is product of power and time. it is a multiple of KWH that is commonly called "Unit" in Pakistan.

I would invite you to go thru full presentation shared at this link:

http://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3x1Nmk1zl5tRDFoLW1hVmJUOGV5NUpmaEhjSmpmUQ/edit


It has answers to most of your questions. more questions are welcome.

Soan dam's power potential is much more than 18000 GWH. as it is equivalent of 2.5 kalabagh dams stacked on top of each other, using 64 MAF flow of Indus at Tarbela without any spillway wastage of flood water.

Indus river doesn't contribute to irrigation between Tarbela and attock. during flood season, water can be diverted per request of provinces to be released back in winter. diversion is not permanent and gates can be switched to release water in either direction.

Soan Link Canal is about the size of Ghazi Baroth canal, only with slightly more slope. This canal alone can generate 4500+ MW of power during summer. rest of power will come from releasing water back to Indus. which will be slower, per demand but water involved is smae amount and available head is 1.5x,so Net energy will be 1.5 times more on exit, @ ~2200 MW.

frankly, this Project is too good to ignore, and you may witness this in coming days. I couldn't believe its numbers at first go, but they'r real.

regards

khalid replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 06:49 PM PST 

thanks Mr Rehman. the slid presentation is very good. WE have to submit to the GOVT of Punjab . any one can submit to the chamber of Lahore and Karachi..

MAS replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 07:08 PM PST 

Dear Inam, I stand corrected regarding the difference between GW and GWH. I did not know that. As per your presentation 18000 GWH is the total energy production over an entire year for this project. Tarbela produces approximately 3.5 GW. Converting it into GWH for the entire year Tarbela comes at 3.5 x 365 x 24 = 30660 GWH. So Tarbela is still bigger in terms of energy production. Am I correct?

Your complete presentation is far more convincing than the attachment on this page. Congratulations on your work. Just as an observation I would mention that the proposed lake area of 1230 Sq Km is five times larger than Tarbela's. Is'nt it too much land to spare? I don't know. May be it is worth avoiding floods. I wish you and our country best of luck.

khalid replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 07:13 PM PST 

Now it come to the right direction . MAS i am not expert in all this. only i want we all should discuses the thing which improve our info and help full for all.

jk-Pakistani replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 08:39 PM PST 

Thank for an idea badly needed for the country. Can some expert throw some light on the feasibility and efficacy of these projects. Soan seems to be most promising but the point remains that how to get 1230 km2 and how many people would be displaced?

jk-Pakistani replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 08:50 PM PST 

Sorry for spelling mistakes but I hope that the message is clear and we could proceed forward on this idea for a meaningful discussion and action.Government of Pakistan (Ministry of water and power) is requested to consider the proposal for serious analysis please.

Inam replied on Thursday, May 3, 2012 01:30 AM PST 

Tarbela doesn't operate at peak performance around the year. during winter it drops to below 1000 MW. its annual figure for energy is 13952.83 GWH.

Soan lake will fill the broken landscape of Soan gorge. annual floods inundate much much more area throughout Pakistan so this dam will make them safer. for comparison, Chashma barrage's reservoir area is about 600 sq km, for just half MAF storage, 70 times smaller than Soan option.
similarly Manchar lake has area of 520 sq km for 100 times less storage.
for a project that can earn 90 billion dollars annually, this price is not big enough. Like brother Malik Majeed mentioned above, People of area know about the dam for half a century. govt must relocate them to safer areas with their water credit and fertile lands. with so much extra water, it won't be a problem for the govt. this will be a major consideration during the detailed planning.

Thank you Inam. that is really informative peace of work for people like me. Jazak Allah Khair.

qyoum replied on Thursday, May 3, 2012 05:05 PM PST 

any one tell about the soan are is it good land agricultural r no agricultural. after dam all land will go in the dam.

InamRehman replied on Friday, May 4, 2012 03:20 AM PST 

Soan land is broken platue with mix of irrigated and Arid farming. More than half of Soan lake area will only be used during extreme flood case, and will be available for seasonal cropping like Siran Pocket of Tarbela.

Hello brothers,

This is a very nice discussion place I just happened to visit.

I have a one kanal (60x90) plot in Gulshanabad, Rawalpindi. My requirements are; atleast 3 bedrooms with attached baths, dressing, one kitchen plus dirty kitchen, a store, a servant quarter, drawing plus dining and a 30 feet front lawn.

Would appreciate your suggestions/advice in on the following scenario.

1- If I build a single story house with the above features.

2- If I build a double story house with 2 beds on the ground floor instead of 3 and the rest of stuff. Plus ONLY 2 beds and a lounge on the first floor.

How much would be the difference in construction cost for the above two scenarios. And what should I expect to spend to make a standard house.

MOST IMPORTANT:
Since I want a lot of open space like front lawn and side/back space so I don't want to build a conventional house of 3600 Sq. Ft covered area. How can I make a house on this one kanal plot having a ground floor convered area of around 2200 to 2400 Sq. Ft.

Thank you

JMDS replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 05:53 AM PST 

Dear NK
first of all referring to the most important point, it is very easy to make a house within the covered area you have mentioned i.e sq ft. it all depends on the design of the house for which you will have to hire a good architectural firm.

you don't have a long list of requirements and thus i believe it is very much manageable.

in the case of a single story house, with these requirements you will not be able to achieve the open space requirement as much as you will be in the case of double story house,

in a double story house you can have interesting spaces like double height areas .. internal courtyards.. plus a double story house would have a better elevation then a single story house.

for high end construction you would require around 3000 per sqft and for an avg construction the cost is around 1500 per sqft.

conclusion: hire a good architectural firm.

my suggestion :

Aslamoalikum, apologies this is non property related,

Does any one know how to contact this person? my heart cries out after reading his situation.

BADIN: An unemployed person stated to be father of six daughters attempted to commit suicide through self immolation on the eve of International Labour Day but survived with severe burn wounds.

According to details, Abdul Razzaq Ansari, 45, an unemployed labourer of Badin, during a rally taken out to mark the Labourers Day in Ward No 4 here on Tuesday set ablaze him due to financial crunch and domestic disputes.

Other attendants of the rally put off the fire and shifted him to hospital where according to hospital sources his condition was serious.

Abdul Razzaq has six daughters and was unemployed for last four months due to which he was facing problems to feed his six daughters and it led to the extreme act.

Too bad, I was thinking taking my early retirement from USA and moving back to Pakistan. I was thinking of using HSBC to have my pension be deposited and withdrawal in Pakistan. Now I need to find out about another bank. Does anyone knows any USA base bank also operate in paksitan and either no or minimum monthly charges?

Thanks

ua replied on Friday, May 4, 2012 05:15 PM PST 

HSBC has decided to close operations in Pakistan (along with a few other countries) and has put its Pakistan operations up for sale. For the account holders, it will be business as usual. These kind of sales have happened before when banks like Bank of America, Royal Bank of Scotland, ABN-AMRO pulled out. No change in accounts / lockers etc. @Mr. Khan, HSBC would have given you no advantage over any other bank. The money transfer process is same between HSBC US to HSBC Pakistan as it is between HSBC US to any other Pakistani bank. You cannot withdraw funds from US bank directly from Pakistan. The way of doing it is to present a cheque of US account in your local bank and it takes anywhere between 2-4 weeks for funds to get transferred.

Khan replied on Saturday, May 5, 2012 03:46 AM PST 

Thank you ua! I have been doing the same depositing my US cheque in Pakistan whcih takes about a month to clear.

Thanks again.

zakat on plot

Dear All,
i have recently bought a 1 kanal plot in LDA avenue 1. I dont have a set plan as to build a house over there (as i already own a house) or sell it after 5 or 6 years. I need to know if zakat is payable on this plot. I have checked various websites at some places they say zakat is not applicable as it is not agri land and some places they say it is applicable.
I will appreciate if any knowledgeable brother give his advice.

SM replied on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 05:52 PM PST 

@ UAE,
You must consult with scholar about this issue in spite of searching on web.No one can guide you better than a person having grip on this topic

Muscat replied on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 06:21 PM PST 

Dear Friend you must follow the sprit of ZAKAT that is what ever you have excees than your use ZAKAT is applicable doesn't matter its Agriculture or commercial. Its just my suggestion you like it or not its up to you

Regards

Tariq replied on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 06:51 PM PST 

Zakat will be applicable whenever you sell it. The amount you received will be subject to Zakat when the amount you have remains with you for aperiod of one year.

AHM replied on Tuesday, May 1, 2012 11:42 PM PST 

Zakat is due on any amount excessive than your requirements/expenditures and remains with you for one year. Incase of plot, if you purchased for investment purpose, it was extra money with you and you have to pay Zakat after one year according to the market value of plot. However, if your intension is to build a house even after ten years then nothing to pay even if you already have a house. The moment you change your mind to sell it the Zakat will be due afterwards. The matter is purely between Allah and the indvidual, so, if you are not clear about your plans than better to pay to get a plot in 'Jannat'. Remember, every year, you have to pay according to the current market value of the plot.

I got this information from a scholar in Saudi Arabia. Jazak Allah!

NMS replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 01:43 AM PST

Islooo.. replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 06:40 AM PST 

I totally agree with the discussion, but I sometimes do not understand that while Zakat is applicable on an investment property or plot as a whole, why is it only applicable on rent, and not applicable on the whole amount of a house which you have give on rent (Separate from your own house).

Islooo : Zakat is applicable on whole amount of plot. Not just on rent. Who said it is applicable only on rent?

HASHIR replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 02:21 PM PST 

What price you purchase one kanal plot in LDA Ave 1.Please also mention plot # & block No. I am also intersting to buy a plot in LDA ave. Thanks

AHM replied on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 03:00 PM PST 

@ Islooo..

Your point is quite valid, an extra house constructed for a purpose of a regular income in shape of rent, is considered as business investment, so, Zakat is valid on the income/net saving not on the value of the whole investment. In case of a plot, it is not meant to have a regular income but a source of an increasing saving.

It's an effort to explain the knowledge I got through different sources...... and believe me, this is the best investment I've ever made!
