STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: The year-to-year data collected with the help of tree-ring chronologies from the main upper Indus basin in Pakistan shows that the river flow has considerably increased over the last 21 years, possibly the highest sustained flow period of the past 500 years.
This remarkable finding that could be linked to large-scale global climatic changes is part of the final report of a four-year study “Upper Indus river flow reconstruction using tree-rings implication for agriculture and hydroelectricity” conducted under a Pakistan-US project for science and technology through the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
