World Potential (TAJIKISTAN)
Future outlook
The basic priority of further hydropower development
arises from: the large unexploded hydro resources and lack
of fossil fuel resources; and, the increasing demand of electricity.
A fundamental criterion for developing the country's water
resources will be the adoption of a complementary approach
involving hydropower and irrigation, and the aim will be to
exploit the rivers fully.
These considerations determine that future water projects
will involve: large hydropower dams providing for energy production
as well as irrigation; large and medium-sized hydro plants
which will operate as part of a common system and convert
the energy potential of the rivers into useful power in the
most beneficial way; and, small and medium-sized hydro plants
on the smaller rivers to meet the needs of individual consumers.
