ISLAMABAD: Water level in Simly Dam is constantly decreasing due to less rain in catchment areas of the dam.
Currently, the water level in the dam is 2,247 feet against the capacity of 2,315 feet, sources said.
They said during the same period last year, the dam was full to its capacity.
When contacted, deputy director general Water Management Sardar Khan Zimri said: “Yes, water level has decreased due to less rain, but there is no need to panic. We have sufficient stock of water which can cater to the need of the residents for one month. The next spell of rain, which is expected next week, the level of water will see significant increase,” he said.

RAWALPINDI:
The water shortage has intensified in the garrison city as the groundwater level went down around 700 feet on Friday while the water in Rawal Dam and Khanpur Dam has touched the dead level.
“Water supply in Khayaban-e-Sir Syed is available only three days a week while on the remaining four days citizens have no choice but form a queue to fetch water from outside. The serious shortage of water has made our lives miserable especially in this hot weather,” said Saeed Shams, a resident of the locality.
