Dear Sultan Salahuddin 

Happy  new  year.

I dont know the percentage but I know the reason. The main reason is political pressure to technocrats . Sometimes politicans force  technocrats to find the dam project proposal  feasible with short term hydrological unreliable data. Result is obvious .

Hydrological models and technics are  developed  enough to  make  dam's basin hydrological calculations precisely.  Of course by using long term ( at least 40 years) relaible hydrometeorological data. But such studies need to take into account climate change effects  even though that is not main effect not to impound dam's reservoir in several cases for the time being  . These are mainly due to the political presssure and lack of reliable data except for some cases related with  climate change impact on basin hydrology.

Dam's hydrology calculation reports can easily be available from several sources in internet.

 Best regards

Excellent point. If no financial kickbacks then governments are slow to do.  You have pointed out again the main cause being "Centralization" and added to this Infrastructure with the costs of maintenance. In case anyone was wondering the decentralized solutions have been developed and are being ignored to make funding available for more infrastructure.  At a glance. To buy & install home system would take $4 Billion for the entire country. For redoing are decaying infrastructure would take (estimates vary) 8 to 12 Trillion.  Now you understand why the international organized crime society is fighting President Trumps Agenda.
