The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) of Pakistan is a vital organization tasked with the development and management of water and power resources in the country. Established in 1958, WAPDA’s primary mission is to harness Pakistan’s water and hydropower potential to meet the growing energy and water demands of its population. The Authority is responsible for planning, executing, and maintaining large-scale water and power projects, including dams, reservoirs, and hydroelectric power stations.
These projects are crucial for flood control, irrigation, and generating renewable energy, thereby supporting agricultural productivity and reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels. WAPDA’s efforts in developing a sustainable and reliable water and energy infrastructure are essential for Pakistan’s economic growth and environmental sustainability, ensuring the long-term well-being of its citizens.
