    Punjab draws excess water as Sindh and Balochistan face severe shortages

    Punjab is withdrawing 21.35% more water than its allocated share (53,394 cusecs vs. 44,000 cusecs), exacerbating severe shortages in Sindh and Balochistan. Sindh faces a 39.6% overall water deficit, with the Dadu Canal experiencing an 85.7% shortfall. Balochistan receives less than its 1991 Water Apportionment Accord-allocated 2,200 cusecs due to reduced flows in the NW Canal.

    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.
