At Mangla on the Jhelum, inflow was 34,000 cusecs and outflow 8,000 cusecs. Chashma saw inflows of 326,600 cusecs and outflows of 329,000 cusecs, while at Head Marala on the Chenab, inflows reached 107,500 cusecs against 89,500 cusecs outflow.
In Nowshera, the Kabul River registered 39,400 cusecs both in inflow and outflow.
Reservoirs remained under pressure, with Tarbela at 1,549 feet holding 5.67 million acre-feet (MAF), Mangla at 1,220.95 feet also holding 5.67 MAF, and Chashma at 647 feet with 0.21 MAF.
The combined usable storage across Tarbela, Mangla and Chashma stood at 11.55 MAF. Since 1 April, however, 11.8 MAF of water – estimated at US$11 billion – has flowed into the sea.
The Indus carried the largest volume to the sea, with flood-like conditions reported from Chashma downstream to Kotri. At Sukkur, discharge reached 449,000 cusecs; at Guddu, 312,000 cusecs; at Taunsa, 345,000 cusecs; and at Kalabagh, 271,000 cusecs.
On the Chenab, flow at Head Marala touched 902,000 cusecs, while no dam exists to store its waters.
PDMA Director General Irfan Ali Kathia said the Head Marala structure had remained safe, with floodwaters having passed and water levels beginning to recede.
Flood peaks were recorded at Khanki, Qadirabad, Ganda Singh, Jassar and Shahdara, with flows in the Ravi touching 240,000 cusecs.
