E aʻo hou e pili ana i ka hana wai muliwai
"Ua kūleʻa nā hana mālama e hoʻomau nei ma Jhelum ma ka moku ʻo Baramulla i hiki iā mākou ke pale i ka hoʻoweliweli ʻana o ka wai. Ma ka eli mau ʻana, ua kāpae mākou i nā ālai i ka muliwai ma Baramulla a hoʻonui loa i ka hiki o ke kahe ʻana o ka muliwai, "i haʻi aku ai ʻo Taj Mohi-ud-Din, Kuhina no ka Irrigation a me ka Flood Control iā Greater Kashmir.
No Verinag mai ma Kashmir hema, ua hui pū ʻia ʻo Jhelum e nā kahawai ʻehā, Surendran, Brang, Arapath a me Lidder ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o Kashmir's Islamabad (Anantnag). Ma waho aʻe, hānai nā kahawai liʻiliʻi e like me Veshara a me Rambiara i ka muliwai me ka wai hou.
ʻO Jhelum meanders ma ke ala nahesa mai Hema a hiki i North Kashmir a noho ma Wullar, ka loko wai piha nui ma ʻAsia, ma mua o ka ninini ʻana i Pakistan i lawelawe ʻia ʻo Kashmir ma o Baramulla. Wahi a ka poʻe loea, ʻo ka wai kahe nui i ka makahiki 1959 i hopena i nā hopena o hope i Jhelum ma muli o nā kahe haʻahaʻa mai Wullar Lake ma ka ʻākau o Kashmir kahi i ʻaneʻane e ʻānai ʻia e ka hōʻiliʻili nui o ke kahawai silt a me nā kahawai kūiki.
"Ua wehe mākou i nā tona o ka silt i ke kahe o waho. Mālama pono ʻo Jhelum Conservation Project iā ia iho ke kūʻai aku ʻana o ka silt i ke Aupuni ma mua o nā rupe i ʻelua mau crore i nā mahina i hala iho nei. E hoʻohana mākou i kēia kālā i ka mālama wā lōʻihi o ka muliwai, "i ʻōlelo ʻo Taj i ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā dredger ʻelua i hana ʻia e US i wikiwiki i ke kaʻina mālama.
Ua hana ʻia nā dredgers e ka Ellicott Dredges i hoʻokumu ʻia ma US - kekahi o nā mea hana mua loa i nā pono dredging. ʻOiai, ua hoʻolako ʻo Ellicott Dredges i ka dredger mana ʻo Ellicott® mua no ka mālama ʻia ʻana o Jhelum i ka makahiki 1960. ʻO ke kōmike kai lawe ʻia e ke kuhina nui ʻo Jawahar Lal Nehru.
Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ma ke kumu kūʻai o nā ʻāpana lawaiʻa o Rs 12, ʻo ka dredgers i kapa ʻia ʻo Soya II a me Budshah II i hoʻolālā ʻia e hana i ka lawena hohonu. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Aijaz Rasool o ke mākaʻi o KEC Mumbai o Ellicott Dredges ma India i ka holo ʻana o ka hana kolohe i Janbazpora a me Juhama i Baramulla.
"Ma o ka hana ʻana i ka dredging i kēia mau wahi, hiki iā mākou ke pale i nā pinepine o nā kahawai i hoʻokahi haneli mau makahiki i ke awāwa. Akā ʻaʻole hiki kēia me ka ʻole o ka poʻe ʻalalā, "ua hoʻohui ʻo ia.
Ua ʻōlelo nā luna i ke Kuhina Nui o Jammu lāua ʻo Kashmir Bakshi Ghulam Muhammad i ka hopena o 50 mau makahiki ua hele aku i ke Aupuni o India e ʻimi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a ka ʻenekinia i ka pilikia. Ma lalo o ke alakaʻi ʻana a ka poʻe loea o ka Komisina Wai Waena, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi papahana kumumanaʻo no nā hana dredging o Jhelum mai Wullar a Khadanyar.
Hoʻomoe ka hana i ka hohonu a me ka pālahalaha ʻana o Jhelum mai Ningli i Sheeri e nā mea hoʻokani manu. Eia nō naʻe, i kēlā manawa, ʻaʻole i hana ʻia ka dredger a hana maʻalahi i India. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo nā luna, no ka hoʻopiʻi pilikino ʻia ʻana o ke Kuhina Nui ʻo Jawahar Lal Nehru i kūʻai ʻia nā mea kuke.
"Eia nō naʻe, ua hoʻomau ka hana dredging a hiki wale i ka 1986. Ua kāpae ʻia ma muli o ka lawa ʻole o nā kumuwaiwai a me nā pono hana hoʻāo. Mai ia manawa ua kū nā tona o ka waiho kālā silt ma Jhelum ma muli o ka hōʻino wikiwiki ʻana o kāna mau paʻa. Ua hoʻemi kēia i ke kahe ʻana o ka wai kahe o ke kahawai kahe o Jhelum a me kāna kuleana e halihali ana mai 35000 cusecs i 1975 a 20000 cusecs i kēia manawa, "wahi a nā luna.
Ua hoʻouna aku ka 'Oihana Hoʻokele a me ka Hoʻopau i ka wai ma 2009 i ka papahana crore 2000 i ke Kuhina Wai Waiwai no ka hoʻopaʻi. Hoʻohui ka papahana i nā hana hoʻoliʻiliʻi e like me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o kā Jhelum ʻeli ʻana i nā kahawai kūwaho, ka pale ʻana, a me nā hana anti-erosion a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka pono o ka neko.
Eia naʻe, ua ʻae ke Kuhina i kahi ʻāpana o ka papahana e uku ana i nā crores 97 crores e kōkua i nā hana koke me ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mīkini a me ka ʻeli ʻana i Jhelum, ʻo ia hoʻi o kāna kahawai kahe wai i Srinagar a me nā kahe kahe i Daubgah a me Ningli i Baramulla. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Taj i nā ʻikepili āpau e pili ana i ka lawe ʻana a me nā pae wai i waho, ka ana wai a me ka hiki ʻana iā Jhelum no nā 50 mau makahiki i hala.
"Ua hana pū mākou i ka hana ʻana i nā kahawai e kahe ana ka wai ma Srinagar a me nā wahi e pili ana me ka hoʻokele hoʻokele mai Sonwar a Old City. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka dredging, hoʻolālā mākou e hemo i nā mea komo āpau ma nā kapa muliwai mai Islamabad a Baramulla. I loko o kekahi mau makahiki, e hoʻihoʻi ʻia ʻo Jhelum i kona nani nani, "i hoʻohui aku ai ʻo Taj.
