Punjab, Sindh face cut in irri water for Kharif

Chairman IRSA said the share of water of other two provinces, NWFP and Balochistan (the least developed provinces in the country), would not be curtailed for the coming season of crops.

He pointed out that the wheat and other crops’ production could suffer next year because of the shortage of water.

Chairman IRSA Bashir Dahr said the water situation could improve in case the country received more rains during the winter season. He said normally the winter rains start every year in January and February that improve the water level in reservoirs and we hope the water situation would improve early next year.
