VOICED : Pakistani Kashmir turns to water to solve

In Pakistan's Kashmir region, locals harness the powerful waters to generate electricity through small hydro schemes. These community-driven projects provide light but not enough power for other appliances. Due to a severe energy crisis, many areas are off the national grid, prompting villagers to rely on homemade turbines. The use of wood for heating and cooking has health and environmental drawbacks, but hydroelectric power offers a cleaner alternative. Despite Kashmir's vast hydro potential, current dams operate at just 10% capacity. The local government plans a large-scale dam, but until then, residents must depend on their initiatives.
