IRSA Warns of a Severe Water Crisis Across the Country
The Indus River System Authority (IRSA) has warned that Pakistan’s water crisis has intensified and that the situation is becoming direr with each passing day. It added that the water shortage will increase by 25 to 30 percent.
The situation has compelled the water regulator to reduce the water withdrawal from the Tarbela Dam by releasing 8,000 cusecs of water per day to Sindh as a temporary arrangement.
According to reports, the water storage in Tarbela and Mangla dams is sufficient for 8 days only if the situation doesn’t improve.
