These latest river flows and reservoir levels are closely monitored by WAPDA to ensure proper water management. The data helps with irrigation planning, flood prevention, and water supply management across the country.
WAPDA continues to track river flows to prepare for any potential flood risks and to maintain water availability during dry periods. These updates assist authorities in making informed decisions regarding water distribution and safety measures.
In summary, the latest river flows show stable and significant water inflows in major rivers. Reservoirs currently have a strong water storage capacity, which supports agricultural and domestic needs across Pakistan.
Monitoring river flows remains vital for managing the country’s water resources effectively throughout the year.
