Re: Flooding season
Maybe politicians are bored for something that happens fairly regularly?
Btw, what happened to musharraf’s canal management project? I think one part of it was to line the canals so water doesn’t seep into ground and the second was to install telemetry system so sindh’s complaint can be properly alleviated that not enough downstream water allows arabian sea to push in from the south. I guess that we don’t have a good marsh protection system in sindh either with no protection of mangroves.
In a country like Pakistan which has drought and flood cycles, there should be a better job by the irrigation department(s) to properly store and then divert excess water to the indian ocean. If israel can recycle waste water for irrigation, then I don’t know why Pakistan can’t maximize the storage of flood water and proper drainage to the sea.
I don’t think the cleaning of canals has been carried out for ages, similarly the bunds need to be strengthened. Deforestation has played its part in this menacing outcome as well.
