Flood devastates 10 villages in Khairpur

SUKKUR reported that 10 villages of Khairpur were flooded on Saturday. At the same time, people are looking at safer areas

As the Meteorological Authority issued a new flood warning to Sindh, the water level of the barrage of Guddu and Sukkur continued to rise.

According to the Irrigation Bureau, there are now 962,468 floods passing through the Gooddu Barrage. But more water may enter the barrage

Likewise, 400,710 cubes are crossing the dam of Sukkur. As the floods of Sukkur Barrage continue to increase, there is the possibility of causing damage in regions such as Rohri, Panu Aqil and Saleh Patt.

At the same time, the government placed the Rangers and the Army and urged all other relevant departments after a flood warning.

Groundwater from various villages in the Khairpur district of Sindh province was subjected to physicochemical analysis for drinking and irrigation. The chemical and physical properties of all samples are higher than WHO guidelines and water is not suitable for drinking and irrigation. Bacteriological and physicochemical examination of groundwater in the coastal area of ​​Sind shows that groundwater is not suitable for drinking. The concentrations of phosphate and sulfate are within the range. However, contamination of organic matter and feces is higher than turbidity and salinity. Groundwater quality across Sindo states that the pH of the water sample is within the scope of the World Health Organization, but the turbidity and most chemical parameters are above the critical value.

I have a background in engineering and I have been working as a water resource engineer for ten years. As a flood model expert, many of my friends will leave a message asking if they are at risk of flooding during the storm. In 2011 and 2013, I witnessed the catastrophic impact of the flood - people lost their homes, precious fortunes, and even loved ones. FloodMapp is a real-time interactive flood map that helps people find and understand warnings related to them. By accessing this information, they can better preserve the risks of floods and save what may have been lost. For insurers, FloodMapp provides them with the idea of ​​how people will be affected.
