Water inflows into Pakistan's major reservoirs have increased as warmer weather accelerates snow and glacier melt in the country's northern regions, providing a welcome boost to water storage for irrigation and power generation.

According to the latest official figures, the water level at Tarbela Dam rose by four feet during the past 24 hours, while its storage increased by 100,000 acre-feet, taking the total live storage to 844,000 acre-feet.

The inflow at Tarbela also witnessed a significant rise of 19,000 cusecs, reaching 196,000 cusecs. Water experts say the increase reflects seasonal snowmelt and higher river flows as temperatures continue to climb across the country.

At Chashma Barrage, water inflow increased by 10,000 cusecs, bringing the total inflow to 204,000 cusecs. Meanwhile, water flow in the Chenab River at Head Marala also improved, rising by 9,000 cusecs to 53,000 cusecs.

In contrast, the flow in the Kabul River at Nowshera remained unchanged at 46,000 cusecs, indicating stable conditions in that river system.

Officials from the water management authorities said rising inflows are expected to improve irrigation supplies for the ongoing crop season and support hydropower generation, particularly as electricity demand increases during the summer months.

However, experts noted that water availability depends on weather conditions, rainfall and glacier melt throughout the season. Authorities continue to closely monitor reservoir levels and river flows to ensure efficient water management and prepare for any potential flooding during the monsoon period.
