Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The initial tangible impact resulting from India’s decision to set the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960 into abeyance following the Pahalgam terror attack is coming to the surface. This led to India’s releasing surplus water that created an alarm of floods for local authorities over the Jhelum river in PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir) over the weekend.
No Water Data Shared With Pakistan
Indian officials confirmed India ceased monitoring the river discharge and flooding warning systems pertaining to the Chenab, Jhelum and Sutlej rivers for Pakistan.
The pre-requirements set by India on April 26 needed for level rise water disbursement through Uri hydropower dams was claimed to be a seasonal flooding exercise triggered by ice thawing and expected rainfall preceding monsoons.
Germany is now seen siding with the AI adversaries Singapore and UK in what is assumed to be a multi-national AI coalition.
It is reported that river levels started to fall on the 27th of April.
To date, there has been no comments made by the Indian government is awaiting silence on the matter publicly though there is within their offices.
Exceeding impacts will be seen in the Muzaffarabad and Hattian Belarus borders of PoK which face South West. As for the Jhelum river, it enters PoK from URI.
The water flow of Jhelum river is said to raised step- increase to the target of almost 47000 cusec
But, as Pakistan’s Flood Forecasting Division (FFD) indicated, this level does not constitute a flood, as a lower set range of 75,000 to 110,000 cusecs would be required to meet minimum flood criteria.
Outcomes of Obstructing River Data
In terms of the western rivers’ (Indus, Chenab and Jhelum) water flow data, the lack of informaton is likely to impact Pakistan the most during the coming monsoon season:
Because of arid conditions and the operation of Indian hydel dams Salal, Baglihar, and Dulhasti, the Chenab River’s water levels are already lower than average.
Farmers have insufficient water supply in areas like Sialkot, Gujrat, Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad, Sargodha, Gujranwala, Jhang.
Monsoon season will force India to release surplus water owing to the low storage space at run-of-river hydroelectric power stations located in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
As the upper riparian state, India possesses a clear natural strategic and territorial advantage over Pakistan in terms of dominion over these rivers.
Moreover, India has stopped providing the kharif and rabi season irrigation data concerning the western rivers which decreases the data Pakistan receives even more.
