ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The ongoing dry spell in the country is badly affecting harvest season of wheat while experts said that there are little chances of rain next month also.
The Indus River System Authority (IRSA) said that due to the dry season water in reservoirs of Mangla and Terbella has reached dead level while experts said that there are no chances of torrential rain next month also which could enhance the threat of severe water shortage.
The experts said that 17 percent of less rain had been forecast this year but continued dry season is depleting the existing reservoirs posing serious threats to the country as far as water is concerned.
While talking to media, the Director General Met Office Ghulam Rasool said that due to environmental changes this dry spell has emerged and one could not say with certainty as to how long this dry season is to last.
