Hub Reservoir Nears Full Capacity After Heavy Rains
Karachi – Following recent heavy rains, the water level at Hub Reservoir has risen to 335 feet, just four feet below its maximum capacity of 339 feet.
The rainfall in the dam’s catchment areas, including the Kirthar Range and the hilly regions of Baluchistan, has significantly contributed to the increase in water levels. Hub Reservoir, with a capacity of 646,000 acre-feet, is capable of supplying water to parts of Karachi as well as Hub and Lasbella in Baluchistan for up to three years.
Hub Dam plays a vital role in providing drinking water to Karachi and meeting the water needs of several districts in Balochistan. The rising water level is expected to improve supply, particularly in Karachi’s District West, which relies on the Hub Reservoir for its water needs.
The Hub River’s catchment area spans hundreds of kilometers across Sindh and Balochistan. Located 56 kilometers from Karachi, Hub Dam covers 24,300 acres and has a total gross storage capacity of 857,000 acre-feet.
