Web Desk; Water levels in Punjab and Sindh rivers remain persistently high, with heavy inflows and outflows putting pressure on downstream areas, particularly low-lying settlements and agricultural lands along the riverbanks.
According to official figures, Guddu Barrage recorded inflows of 366,151 cusecs against an outflow of 328,499 cusecs. The barrage has a maximum handling capacity of around 1.2 million cusecs, indicating the current level is manageable but requires constant monitoring.
At Sukkur Barrage, inflows reached 329,990 cusecs, while the outflow stood at 281,985 cusecs. The barrage can sustain up to 1.5 million cusecs, keeping the current pressure within safe limits.
At Kotri Barrage, inflows were registered at 245,452 cusecs compared to an outflow of 226,497 cusecs. Kotri’s designed capacity is around 875,000 cusecs, and present levels remain well below the danger mark.
In Punjab, Trimmu Barrage saw both inflow and outflow recorded at 493,073 cusecs. With a maximum capacity of approximately 645,000 cusecs, officials said the flow remains under control but is being closely watched.
Meanwhile, Head Panjnad recorded flows of 240,067 cusecs, against its designed capacity of nearly 700,000 cusecs.
Authorities have advised vigilance in vulnerable areas, warning that any further increase in river inflows could escalate the risk of flooding in downstream districts.
