The development of water resources would resolve the problem in the long run but in the short term, there was a limit to constructing costly thermal power projects given their high economic costs. A major shortfall is already there in natural gas supplies, as an official energy demand forecast indicates that the demand for natural gas, which makes up about 50% of Pakistan s energy consumption, would increase by 44%, i.e. 39 MTOE from 27 MTOE currently. The issue of energy shortage is not going to go away in a short span of time because of the non-seriousness of the government on the construction of big dams.
