River Sutlej passes on the northern side at a distance of about 6 mile.

Total Area 8,878 km²

Education:
The literacy rate of Bahawalnagar is less than 25% and unemployment rate is much higher than
25%.[9] As the literacy rate of this city is not quite enough but the government owned institutions
are offering their services to increase the literacy rate. The sub-Campus of Islamia University[10] is
also located in Bahawalnagar.

Sports ground :
Haider Stadium is the biggest stadium of Bahawalnagar City as well as Bahawalnagar
District.[11] Bahawalnagar Gymnasium is also established whiched include tennis court, and a
beautiful Gym where citizen can obtain membership very easily.

Administration:
Bahawalnagar is the administrative center of Bahawalnagar District, one of the five tehsils or
subdivisions of the district, the tehsil is subdivided into 31 Union Councils.

Claimate :
Bahawalnagar has a semi-arid climate (Köppen climate classification BWh) with very hot summers
and mild winters. Precipitation mostly falls in the monsoon season from June to August, although
some rain also falls from February to April. Over the years, global climate change has affected
Bahawalnagar as well as any other place on Earth and below comparison charts from
Weatherbase and NOAA show the difference in rainfall and low temperatures between 1990 and
2015. The monsoon rains can be heavy and may cause floodings. Westerly waves can cause
heavy rainfall and hail from November to May. Tornadoes are very rare.

About turbine:
A small wind turbines cost of between $3,000 to $5,000. Its blades have a diameter of 1.5 to 3.5
meters and it can generate 0.5 watt to 1.5 Kwh of electricity. Generally a small wind turbine needs to be 30
feets higher than any object,including trees,within a 300-foot radius. Depending on wind patterns and
landscapes, that could be between 60 and 120 feet high.

Analysis:
Although there is a enough area for establish small as well as big turbines in bahawalnagar . Where
we need minimum 5m/s wind speed for working of a small turbine. But according to observations and
calculations table , we know that the average wind speed in bahawalnagar is 1.68 m/s which is much less
then required wind speed 5m/s .

Conculusion :
According to above analysis there will be no electricity generated through wind energy because a turbine
that can be used to generate electricity from wind are expensive and the amount of electricity it generate
is too small to use. Almost the wind blowing in Bahawlnagar is low. If we use turbine, it will create more
wind shortage problems which can be life threatening. So, I think in Bahawalnagar using wind turbine will
not much good because it can not produces electricity as we required.
