Kaptai Dam:
A concise observation happened
in 1906 when the Karnafuli Hydropower Station was first considered. A
subsequent report was completed in 1923. In 1946, E. A. Moore suggested the
proposed venture at Barkal around 65 kilometers upstream of present dam site at
Kaptai. In 1950, the Marz Rendal Vatten Consulting Engineers recommended a site
at Chilardak, around 45 kilometers upstream of Kaptai.
In 1951, the administration
engineers proposed Chitmoram, 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) downstream of the current
site. Under the direction of then boss specialist (Irrigation) Khwaja
Azimuddin, the building site was picked in 1951. Utah International Inc. was
chosen as development temporary worker. Development of the dam began in 1957.
Kaptai fisheries:
Rangamati Fish Landing Centre,
run by Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC), tells the current
state of fish diversity in the lake. Some of the fish varieties have already
extinct, for example Mohashoal, says a trader at the landing centre. Earlier,
there were many fish varieties (especially carp), but we don't see them
nowadays, says another fisher.
Some fishers and traders say,
there were some varieties of fish which they saw back in 1993 or some back in
1997. So, it's been quite a while.
The landing centre is very busy
with vibrant presence of the fish traders and fishers. Strangely, everything
here revolves around two fishes only. However, we love these two fishes for
both their taste and nutrition. One is Kachki and the other is Chapila.
Currently, no other fish is quite available in Kaptai Lake, say the fishers and
traders.
"Once there used to be
Rui, Katla, Chital, Mrigal etc. But today we don't get these," says a
trader.
Kaptai Lake is the largest
artificial lake in South Asia with up to 11,000 sq km area. It is fascinating
with small hills, sculpted mountain roads, waterfalls and greenhouses near
water. The water of this lake is very clear and cold.
