significantly following recent rainfall, with the country\u2019s major reservoirs now filled to <strong>72% of their total capacity<\/strong>, according to official data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest figures show a substantial increase in water inflows across the <strong>Indus River system<\/strong>, with incoming water exceeding outflows, helping replenish the country&#8217;s key reservoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials reported that the total volume of water stored in Pakistan\u2019s major reservoirs has reached <strong>9.466 million acre-feet (MAF)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country\u2019s combined water storage capacity stands at <strong>13.149 million acre-feet<\/strong>, meaning the reservoirs are currently operating at approximately <strong>72% of their maximum capacity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The improvement is being attributed to widespread monsoon rains, which have boosted river flows and strengthened water reserves for irrigation, drinking water, and hydropower generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Water experts say the increased storage is expected to benefit the agricultural sector during the ongoing cropping season while also helping improve water availability in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities continue to monitor reservoir levels and river flows to ensure efficient water management throughout the monsoon season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad: Pakistan\u2019s water storage situation has improved significantly following recent rainfall, with the country\u2019s major
