Islamabad: The Indus River System Authority (IRSA) on Wednesday released 237,700 cusecs of water from various rim stations, while total inflows were recorded at 206,600 cusecs, according to Beyond Time News.
Officials said river levels across major dams, including Tarbela and Mangla, remained above dead level, indicating stable water conditions across the system.
Water Release and Inflow Data
IRSA data showed that water release operations continued across multiple key stations along the Indus River system.
The authority reported total outflows of 237,700 cusecs, while inflows stood at 206,600 cusecs. Officials said the managed release helps maintain balance in reservoir levels and downstream flow requirements.
According to IRSA monitoring reports, the system remained within safe operational limits.
Tarbela Dam Water Level Above Dead Level
At Tarbela Dam, the water level was recorded at 1,451.33 feet. This is 51.33 feet above the dead level of 1,402 feet.
Water inflow at Tarbela stood at 103,400 cusecs, while outflow was recorded at 137,100 cusecs. Officials said controlled releases are being maintained to manage reservoir pressure and downstream distribution.
The dam continues to play a key role in Pakistan’s irrigation and hydropower system.
Mangla Dam Also Shows Stable Levels
At Mangla Dam, the water level reached 1,172.00 feet, which is 122 feet above its dead level of 1,050 feet.
Inflow was recorded at 31,600 cusecs, while outflow stood at 29,000 cusecs. Authorities said the reservoir remains in a stable condition and continues to support irrigation demand.
Officials added that water management at Mangla remains aligned with seasonal agricultural requirements.
River Discharges Across Key Stations
IRSA also reported water releases at several important rim stations across the country.
At Kalabagh, the discharge was recorded at 164,500 cusecs. Taunsa recorded 108,000 cusecs, while Guddu registered 60,400 cusecs. Sukkur saw a flow of 18,500 cusecs.
These controlled releases help regulate river flow across the Indus basin and ensure smooth distribution to canal systems.

Flow from Other Rivers
In addition to the Indus River, water releases were also recorded from other major tributaries.
At Nowshera, River Kabul discharged 44,500 cusecs. Meanwhile, River Chenab at Marala recorded a release of 7,000 cusecs.
Officials said these contributions are part of the seasonal river flow pattern and are being closely monitored.
Importance of Water Management
Experts say IRSA’s monitoring and controlled releases are essential for managing Pakistan’s water resources, especially during seasonal variations.
Proper regulation helps prevent both water shortages and excessive flooding, particularly in downstream agricultural regions.
According to Beyond Time News, IRSA continues to coordinate with provincial authorities to ensure equitable water distribution across the Indus Basin Irrigation System.
Conclusion
IRSA’s latest data shows stable river conditions across Pakistan’s major dams and river systems. With controlled releases and healthy reservoir levels at Tarbela and Mangla, authorities say the water situation remains manageable and within safe limits.
Officials continue to monitor inflows and outflows closely to ensure balanced water distribution during the ongoing season.
