This map represents a composite view of all land use plans currently approved in the NIRPC region. We recognize that local entities have prime authority over shaping land use policies, with our role to help unify these plans to help improve our overall quality of life. A summary of each of these plans is presented in the Land Use & Housing Chapter of NWI 2050+, which you can access here: https://ow.ly/w5Al50QpErl

Presentation of International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) tailings related bulletins continues this week with: Bulletin 97 (1994): Tailings Dams - Design of Drainage, Review and Recommendations Summary This bulletin commented various recommended drainage methods for tailings dams. The research and studies made on tailings dams behaviour led to design improved methods of drainage for these dams. So successful have these been that even dams built upstream need no longer be seen as a type that traditionally has a low factor of safety. This approach to starter dam avoids the formation during early deposit of tailings of a zone of low strength slimes, normally found just upstream of that dam and greatly improves stability of a potential slip surface passing through the toe of tailings dam as it approaches full height.

In a novel and workable plan, the government plans to distribute 30% of the stock in the Ghazi Barotha Hydropower Project (GBHPP) to raise $700–800 million to finance the construction of the Diamer-Bhasha Dam. The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has been tasked with promoting constructive stakeholder engagements after the chief of army staff was made aware of this. Top authorities told The News that the equity will be offered out to prospective investors from friendly nations for a period of ten years. According to official sources, "the Ghazi Barotha Hydropower Project's 30% equity divestment would be based on profit sharing basis." The chief of army staff was previously briefed by the acting federal minister for water resources about the GBHPP's 30% equity plan, which was developed by the ministry's technical wing. He expressed his appreciation for the plan and its suggested implementation and requested that the SIFC begin discussions with the Power Division, Finance Division, and NEPRA on this special plan. #iontrendz #novel #pakistan #islamabad #economy #dollars #rate #exchange #authorities #sifc #begin #technical #wings #finanace #division #nepra #army #news #newsalert #newsupdate

This project provides for maintenance dredging at areas nearby the Kashagan field that was previously dredged in 2021–2022. Maintenance dredging is required to maintain the navigation depth of due to waves and undercurrents causing silting in various areas and due to continued sea level drop. It should be noted that the staggered arrangement of underwater berms over 2 meters below the sea level is based on hydrodynamic modelling to reduce the impact on water circulation and movement / migration of fish and seals as much as possible. Similar advanced methods and equipment will be used during maintenance dredging as in previous dredging operations, such as using vertical density flow technology and hydraulic dredging equipment. The ‘vertical density flow technology’ decreases the concentration of suspended solids and water turbidity. As part of the maintenance dredging, all measures necessary to reduce the environmental impact will be applied. The dredging area is located outside commercial fishery areas and special restriction areas to ensure normal spawning run of fish and migration of juveniles into the sea, water protection zones, Akzhayik State Nature Reserve, seals nesting and concentration areas. #NCOC #Kashagan #oilandgas #Kazakhstan #Atyrau https://lnkd.in/eFg5jqAS
