Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) has decided to strengthen Hub Dam, a major source of water for Sindh’s capital of Karachi and Balochistan. The authority is evaluating technical possibilities to save the slippages of precious water to meet the needs of Karachi and Lasbela, said a communicator from the authority. Chairman Lt. Gen. (R) Muzammil Hussain visited Hub Dam location and had a detailed round of the spillway and embankments of the project. WAPDA chairman said that Hub Dam, completed on Hub River in 1981, had significantly been contributing to fulfilling domestic and industrial water requirements of Karachi and part of Balochistan including Hub. . During his visit, the issue relating to receivables in the head of operation and maintenance (O&M) of Hub Dam was also discussed. Sindh gets 63.3 percent and Balochistan 36.7 percent from Hub Dam. At the time of its completion in 1981, the live water storage capacity of the reservoir was 0.76 m acre feet which have been reduced to 0.65 m acre feet due to natural phenomenon of sedimentation.
