FLOODS IN PAKISTAN -
A REGULAR FEATURE.
Each year Monsoon rains come to Pakistan in the months of July and August. These rains cause floods in some area of Pakistan. Mostly affected areas include Punjab, Sindh, adjoining parts of Balochistan and some parts of Khyber Pukhtun Khwa.
Since independence of Pakistan, it has been facing the heavy floods. Floods washed the infrastructure of affected areas. Flood of 1972 is considered the worst one. It caused heavy loss to people, their property, animals, crops and their villages/cities as well.
Flood of 2010 was also very fatal, it damaged many parts of Pakistan. Now in 2013, Flood again inundated many parts of Pakistan. About one million people are victims of it. Punjab and Sindh are facing very difficult situation.
One other main reason for worst condition of flood in Pakistan is the water sent suddenly by India into the rivers entering Pakistan. This added water makes the flood situation more dangerous for Pakistan and causes heavy loss to people, animals, property, crops etc.,
Floods can be avoided if suitable reservoirs of water are arranged throughout the country, if banks of rivers and canals are maintained properly, if rapid rescue operation is taken into account and if illegal encroachments are brought under control.
