Indus water treatment: The impact of India suspending the Indus Water Agreement is clearly visible on Pakistan. The water crisis in Rawalpindi and Islamabad is getting deeper. The water level in Khanpur Dam is decreasing rapidly. Officials say that at present, the remaining water in the dam will be able to fulfill only 35 days of needs.
If it does not rain in 15 days, the situation will be serious
According to the report of Don News, the officials said that if there is no rain in the next 10 to 15 days, then the situation can become even more serious. Rocks and mounds are visible in many parts of the reservoir. According to a report by News18, an official of the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) said that the water level of the dam was recorded at 1,935 feet (AMSL) on Tuesday (May 7), which is just 25 feet above the dead level of 1,910 feet. He said that due to low rainfall and drought in the area, natural waterfalls of the catchment area have also dried up.
Currently, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) is being supplied 90 cusecs of water per day, while the University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Taxila and other small consumers are getting 6.18 cusecs of water.
And the water level of the dam may fall
According to another report by Dawn, the Water and Saints Agency (WASA) plans to start water rationing from the second week of May. If there is no rain soon, the water level of the dam may fall further, which can have a serious impact on the supply of drinking water in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. This dam is located about 40 km from Islamabad and 15 km from Haripur.
PM Modi made a big statement
Addressing the ‘India at 2047’ summit of ABP Network on 6 May (Tuesday), PM Modi said that earlier the water of India’s rights was also going out. Now India’s water will be in favor of India. Will stop in India’s rights and will be useful for India. The Prime Minister said that now when people see the country, they can proudly say that results can be found in democracy.
