It was also disclosed that today 800 cusecs of water were released for Pehur High-Level Canal (PHLC) to supply water, some areas of KPK for irrigation. It is also expected that owing to the upcoming rainy season and melting of glaciers the water inflow in the Tarbaila dam reservoir would increase and would raise the power generation of the dam. Water supply from Khanpur dam reservoir to the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad was also threatened owing to the dry weather in Hazara division where the water level of Khanpur lake has also dropped and only 16 feet above dead level if the situation persists then water supply to the twin cities Islamabad and Rawalpindi would be suspended.
