Information About The Inflows And Outflows Of Water At The Main Rivers

According to sources, the Rain and Flood Emergency Monitoring Cell (RFEMC) has published the most recent data on water inflows and outflows in Pakistan’s main rivers and barrages during the floods.

The study states that the upstream water intake at:

• Guddu Barrage was measured at “350,742 cusecs”, meanwhile the downstream water outflow was measured at “336,627 cusecs”.
• There is a downstream outflow of “234,717 cusecs” and an upstream inflow of “285,487 cusecs” at Sukkur Barrage.
• There is a “273,844 cusec” upstream inflow and a “244,739 cusec” downstream outflow from the Kotri Barrage.

Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah highlighted Monday that the Chenab, Ravi, and Sutlej rivers were to blame for the heavy floods in Punjab and that “this water must not be shifted to Kalabagh.”

He also urged the federal government to create an in-depth climate change policy and warned of a potential super flood in Sindh when India discharged large flows into the Chenab River.

As well as Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon and Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah, the chief minister spoke at a press conference held at the New Sindh Secretariat. He stated that “1.077 million cusecs” had arrived at Qadirabad Barrage four days prior, and that the main river flows had converged at Panjnad earlier than reaching the Indus at Kot Mithan.

“All things above 900,000 cusecs will be classified as a super flood,” he said, referring to the NDMA’s projection of “800,000 to 1.1 million cusecs” at Guddu Barrage around September 5th.

It is important to note that Pakistan is experiencing a devastating flood disaster in 2025, which has affected over “1.2 million” people in several provinces and claimed over “800 lives” due to flash floods, glacial lake eruptions, and continuous monsoon rains. With losses possibly up to “$50 billion”, the floods have caused damage to communities, ruined infrastructure, and worsened economic difficulties.
