The Kalabagh dam project has been lingering on for over two decades. In the last few months it has again gained momentum and many articles and statements have been published in the press both for and against the project. At this juncture it is very necessary to recapitulate its important aspects and study the latest position, so that the facts may be evaluated with cool mind before taking any decision. The purpose of this article is to attempt to review the various aspects of this project with reference to the studies made in the recent past and analyze the data and information available from WAPDA's records and publications, and other authentic sources, to bring out a clear picture to help the discerning reader to get a proper perspective of the project.
