ISLAMABAD: Sindh and Punjab had a heated debate over non-implementation of para-2 of 1991 of the Water Apportionment Accord and huge water losses between Taunsa and Kotri in the NA Standing Committee on Water, presided over by Nawab Mohammad Yousuf Talpur, on Monday.
However, the meeting recommended to IRSA to implement Para-2 of the Water Accord as demanded by Sindh. IRSA also asked to send its inspectors to assess if misreporting was being done by the Sindh Irrigation department. The NA committee also asked the water regulator to provide full share to Sindh and Balochistan.
The IRSA chairman, Rao Irshad Ali Khan, who is also member Punjab, told the participants that IRSA had anticipated 10 percent shortages from April 1 to May 20, whereas 20 percent shortages occurred in real terms. IRSA, he said, has now revised its projections upward and expects 17 percent shortages from now onward up to June 10, keeping in view the dwindling water flows in all rivers.
