Recently, a spokesperson addressed concerns related to the operations of Chashma-Jhelum and Taunsa-Panjnad Link Canals in Sindh. The Indus Advisory Commission (IAC) has made a decision to utilize surplus water from the Indus zone to aid in filling the Mangla dam. This move aims to manage water resources effectively in the region.
One of the key issues highlighted was the increasing water losses in the Taunsa-Guddu reach. These losses have been linked to inaccurate reporting of discharges at Sindh barrages. This inaccurate reporting has led to challenges in water distribution and management, impacting various areas within Sindh.
It is crucial to address the discrepancies in water reporting and ensure accurate data collection to facilitate better water management practices. By implementing measures to improve reporting mechanisms and coordination among stakeholders, the region can work towards sustainable water usage and distribution, benefiting both the environment and local communities.
