Water levels in Nullah Dek continued to rise on Sunday, creating a moderate flood situation in the area. The Irrigation Department said a substantial volume of water is currently passing through the channel.
According to officials, around 16,000 cusecs of water is flowing through the watercourse.
The total carrying capacity of the channel is around 30,000 cusecs. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as water levels remain elevated.
Moderate Flood Reported in Nullah Dek
The Irrigation Department has classified the current situation as a moderate flood.
The present flow remains below the channel’s maximum capacity. However, officials are monitoring possible changes in water levels. Further rainfall could increase the amount of water entering Nullah Dek.
This could create additional pressure on the watercourse and increase risks for nearby areas.
The Irrigation Department is monitoring both the water flow and changing weather conditions. Officials are expected to continue assessing the situation as water moves through the channel.
District Administration Placed on Alert
The district administration has been placed on alert following the increase in water levels. Officials are keeping a close watch on areas that could become vulnerable if the flow rises further.
Authorities have also advised people living near the watercourse to remain careful.
Residents have been asked to avoid unnecessary movement close to the channel. People should also follow safety instructions issued by the local administration and relevant departments.
The precautionary measures are intended to reduce risks while the flood situation continues.
More Rain Could Increase Water Flow
The Irrigation Department has warned that additional rainfall could cause water levels to rise further.
Weather conditions will therefore remain an important factor in determining the flood situation.
A further increase could bring the flow closer to the channel’s overall carrying capacity.
However, authorities have not reported that the watercourse has reached its maximum capacity. The current flow of around 16,000 cusecs represents just over half of its stated 30,000-cusec capacity.
Residents Urged to Remain Vigilant
People living near Nullah Dek have been advised to remain vigilant as authorities continue monitoring the situation.
Residents in potentially vulnerable locations should avoid approaching fast-moving floodwater.
They should also pay attention to official warnings and evacuation instructions if conditions worsen. The district administration and Irrigation Department are continuing to track water levels.
