ABSTRACT
This chapter covers two unusual water projects in Pakistan: the reconstruction of tiny Bolan Dam in Baluchistan or western Pakistan, and the enormous Ghazi-Barotha Power Canal, proposed for a site immediately downstream of the existing Tarbela Dam on the Indus River, in north-central Pakistan (Figure 19.1). Each of these projects has unusual features, reflecting first, the importance of negotiations on water projects, and second, the opportunity to control water-associated diseases if health assessments are conducted early in the planning stages, in close cooperation with the engineers.
