Development of Eia Guidelines of Significant Factors For Diamer Basha Dam Gilgit Baltistan

Energy crises is the one of the major problem that was faced by Pakistan in order to overcome on that crises Pakistan need to be developed and improvement in energy sector, Throughout in the country the demand of water and power increasing day by day therefore hydropower project are the need of the hour in Pakistan.
