In the last two days there was a reduction of 91,000 CUSECs in water flows from India to the Chenab River in the last two days, the Water and Energy Development Authority (WAPDA) said on Saturday.
Delhi suspended his participation in the 1960 Indo Water Treaty (IWT), which governs the use of the Indo River system, on April 23, shortly after 26 civilians were killed in the Kashmir controlled by India. Delhi, without evidence, blamed Islamabad for the attack. The latter has denied the accusations and requested a neutral investigation.
Although the two neighbors of nuclear weapons core a high fire this month after the worst fight between them in decades, the agreement remains “in suspense” for India.
According to the data provided by Wapda Today, the entry of water into the Chenab River in Marala Headworks was 98,200 Cusecs on May 29, before falling to 44,800 Cusecs yesterday. Tickets fell more than 7,200 Cusecs today, without water discharge.
In general, there was a reduction of 91,000 CUSECs at the entrance of water in the Chenab River in Marala Headworks in the last two days.
The Flood Forecast Division of the Department of Meteorology of Pakistan classified the flow in Marala Barge as “normal” and showed a tendency to fall.
The water flows of the Chenab River had also been affected when India practically stopped her water towards Pakistan without prior notice on May 5, just before the military escalation of the two countries.
A senior official of the Punjab Irrigation Department had said at that time that India was using Pakistan’s water “to fill its prey/hydroelectric projects in the Chenab basin.”
He pointed out that Marala Headworks was located 76 kilometers away from Salal Dam, one of the three hydroelectric projects in India in the Chenab basin.
According to the official, Chenab is very important for the Pakistan irrigation system, since their channels, including the upper channels of Chenab and Bambawali-Ravi-Bedian, watered a large extension of agricultural lands in Punjab.
Rejecting the weapons of water by India, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned yesterday that Pakistan would not allow Delhi to cross the red line keeping the IWT in suspense and endangering millions of lives for narrow political profits.
His statement came after the prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, threatened that Pakistan would not obtain water from the rivers on which India had “rights.”
Even after the top fire, Modi had ordered officials to accelerate the planning and execution of projects in the Chenab, Jhelum and Indus rivers: three bodies of water in the Indus system that are mainly designated for the use of Pakistan, six people said. Reuters.
The Water Commission of the Indo of Pakistan (PCIW) has finished a detailed report on IWT violations by India, including the construction of three hydroelectric projects in the Western rivers, including Jhelum and Chenab.
