Flood and Cloud Brust

Pakistan experiences significant rainfall, particularly in July and August, leading to severe flooding, exacerbated by cloud and glacier bursts. Urbanization has reduced the capacity of river beds, contributing to flooding issues, while India has been accused of manipulating water flow as part of a water conflict. To address these challenges, the document suggests building dams, canals, and implementing proper urban planning to enhance preparedness.

FLOOD AND CLOUD BRUST

1. Islamabad and Rawalpindi division approximately 1000 mm annual rainfall in normal times.
July and August... More than 800 millimeter rainfall
2. Sialkot, Narowall and parts of Kashmir ... 1000 millimeter rainfall in normal circumstances
But on 28 of August, more than 500 millimeter rainfall in 24 hours.
3. Malakand division 1300+ millimeter rainfall average. But in Bunar in one hour 510 millimeter
rain. 700 millimeter in 24 hours.

CAUSES OF FLOODS IN PAKISTAN

 Cloud Burst due to rise in temperature


 Glacier Bursts caused due to more rainfall

For example, Hooper glacier in Nagar burst and Gujal glacier in Hunza

WATER WAR LAUNCHED BY INDIA

1. Cut in the flow in winter

2. Flood release in summer

3. India bound to inform Pakistan in time as per IWT. This time India informed 24 hours before water
entered into Paksitan and that also through high commissioner not through Indus Water commission

URBANIZATION OF RIVER BEDS

Urbanization of River Beds and other water channels. E.g. Sialkot Natural river bed has the capacity of
300000 cusec flow but the river dried. Now due to urbanization capacity decreased to 40000 cusec
capacity. Now the flow of 250000 cusec.

5 Societies on Swam River: DHA, Bahria and Blue World city.

PROBLEM

Government in the past and even in the present issued license for construction on the land that
belonged to river and water channels.

River never forget its original channels but human being do forget and commit crime of building
societies.

PREPAREDNESS IS THE MAJOR SOLUTION

1. Build dams: Diamer 8.1 MAF, and Kalabagh 10 MAF capacity


2. Build canals
3. Proper plan and legalized urbanization
