Pakistan has reported a sharp drop in water inflow from India into the River Chenab. According to WAPDA, water inflow at Head Marala fell by 66 percent on Thursday.
The inflow at Head Marala decreased to 6,200 cusecs, while the outflow was recorded at zero cusecs. Yesterday, the inflow was 18,300 cusecs, with an outflow of 12,100 cusecs. This represents a decrease of 12,100 cusecs in just one day.
On March 24, the inflow at Head Marala stood at 13,900 cusecs, with the outflow recorded at 8,100 cusecs three days ago. Officials said such fluctuations could have serious implications for agriculture, irrigation, and water supply downstream.
Experts noted that a sudden reduction in the Chenab’s inflow may impact hydropower generation and affect communities relying on the river. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to manage water distribution effectively.
The sharp decline has raised concerns about upstream water management and adherence to international water-sharing agreements. Pakistan continues to emphasize the importance of following the Indus Waters Treaty to ensure equitable distribution of river water.Pakistan has reported a sharp drop in water inflow from India into the River Chenab.
