| Water coming from India in Pakistan is a blessing or a bother? |
India has released excess water deposited in its dams due to the monsoon rains and melting glaciers in the flowing rivers of Pakistan, which has caused the situation of floods and flood rails in the Sutlej and Ravi rivers of Gilgit-Baltistan and Punjab. Is gone
Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued alerts in Punjab and Gilgit-Baltistan in view of the potential flood risk.
NDMA's Focal Person Brigadier Mukhtar Ahmed told the BBC that according to information received from his sources, India had released about 200,000 cusecs of water in the Sutlej River.
He said that the effects of this rally have started to come in the Pakistani river and the 27,000 kiosk rally has entered the border of Pakistan border Ganda Singh.
When and how is the situation arising?
Brigadier Mukhtar said that the water level is gradually rising and it is expected that after tomorrow afternoon (between the night of 20 and 21 August) a major flood rally will pass from one lakh cusecs to 1.5 million cusecs. Can be up to
He said that India has opened 3 spillways of Ladakh Dam whose water will join the Indus River at Khamring. He said that there was no abnormal rise in water level at this site of the Indus River.
He said that if the water level rises in the Indus, then we have the ability to accumulate this water in the Tarbela Dam and Chashma Barrage.
According to Brigadier Mukhtar Ahmad, there is a danger of flooding due to a large water relay coming from Indian Punjab in the Sutlej River and PDMA Punjab has directed the district Kasur and adjoining districts to be prepared for any emergency. Is given The district administration is making arrangements for evacuation of people on the banks of the river.
He said that under the Sindh-Tass Treaty, every year before the start of the monsoon season, the conference discusses sharing of water emissions and issuing alerts, but this year, unfortunately, the current tense situation in both countries. India did not exchange any details in view of the issue and did not issue an alert before leaving the water. He said that the Indus Water Commission has taken up the matter with the Indian Home Ministry before the Indian authorities, to which India has not yet responded.
Incoming water blessing or bother?
According to NDMA Focal Person Brigadier Mukhtar Ahmed, some of the water coming from India to the Sutlej River will be collected at the head of Suleimani and Panjand but due to lack of water storage facilities on the eastern belt. Most of the water in the Indus will fall into the falling sea.
Brigadier Mukhtar said that if there was no water in the Sutlej River for many years, this water would have a good effect on the lands of the area and also increase the level of underground water. It is a blessing as well as a blessing.
On the water issue from India, water expert and member of NGO Hisar, a non-governmental organization working on water issues, spoke to the BBC, commenting that he thought India could store as much water as it could. What is the excess water that has been poured into Pakistan?
He said that India is constructing six dams on the Chenab River in recognition of the value of the water and similar projects are under construction on the River Ravi.
He said India would try to divert some of this excess water to the canal system of Rajasthan. In the Indian border, the Nala Deck is expected to suffer damage at some places in the Pakistani border area due to a wave.
He criticized that this water is actually coming to Pakistan as a blessing but we will not drain it due to lack of water resources.
He said that the water should have been distributed in the Cholistan, Tharparkar, and Thal areas of Pakistan, but we have no such system. This water is no less than wealth for these areas.
He also suggested that some part of this water would be used by the contact canals at Head Trimu and Manjand while others would be wasted.
'Water storage period is only 30 days'
Under the Treaty of Sindh, Sutlej and Ravi are the rivers of India. Shiraz Memon, Additional Commissioner of the Indus Water Treaty, says that due to lack of water every year, there have been obstacles along the banks of these rivers which have led to evacuation and damage.
He said that Pakistan would have to take immediate steps regarding water storage as Pakistan is one of the shortest water storage countries in the world.
Our storage period is only 30 days, while in many countries of the world water is being collected for two to three years.
He said the domestic water policy included that we would increase our water storage capacity but due to financial difficulties, no substantial work has been done so far.
What is the solution?
Pervez Amir says whenever Pakistan gets a blessing in the form of excess water from India, we name it aggression and oppression. "We must improve the water storage system."
He said that near Sihon we can collect this water by making a barrage, as well as near Hakara we have a small river on which to build a barrage and this water can be avoided. ۔
They also agreed with this water to increase the level of underground water and the positive impact on the power of the land.
Pervez Aamir said on the basis of India's storage or use of the water left in the Indus River, we have resources to collect water there, so there is little fear of flood or flood.
He said the government would have to think for the future as the glaciers will melt more due to climate change and due to the monsoon rains this water will also come to Pakistan in the future. To store it on a permanent basis and We have to build a system. '
