LAHORE: Amid severe shortage of water, the Indus River System Authority (IRSA) has asked the Sindh government to ensure proper utilisation of available river flows through accurate reporting of losses coupled with diverting below-Kotri releases for irrigation purposes.
In a letter written by the director operations, IRSA, to the secretary Irrigation, Sindh, on May 22, 2021, it was noted that 52,000 acre feet of water was still being released below Kotri-Barrage into sea during April 1, 2021 to May 22, 2021 despite Sindh's agitation for water shortage in canals. Moreover, he stated that as many as 50 percent water losses between Sukkur and Kotri barrages are being reported by the provincial Irrigation Department, which is significantly on the higher side, and thereby depriving the farmers of their rightful share.
