    Irrigation water shortage in Sindh reaches alarming level

    Sindh's Right Bank Canal System faces critical irrigation water shortages, with deficits of 64.1% in the North West Canal, 82.0% in the Dadu Canal, and 38.0% in the Rice Canal. Punjab's over-withdrawal of water and the operation of the Chashma-Jhelum Link Canal exacerbate the crisis, violating the 1991 Water Apportionment Accord and threatening agricultural areas in Larkana, Qambar-Shahdadkot, Balochistan, and Sukkur.
