The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Water Resources in a meeting on Wednesday directed the Indus River System Authority (Irsa) to ensure the implementation of the Water Sharing Accord of 1991.
The committee was informed that there were only 2,600-mile long canals in Punjab, while Sindh had a 600-mile canal system, yet, Punjab had less water losses while Sindh had more. The committee was informed that the loss of water depended on the slope and nature of the land, rainfall and temperature.
