Monsoon rains

Pakistan is wasting Gods gift, the monsoon rains. The crops which are benefiting directly from the rains are taking less water from the canals. Our only two dams are busy generating the much needed power and are not storing the surplus flows. Had there been more dams, both power generation and water storage could have been better managed. As it is the precious water which we will need tomorrow is being wasted today, flowing down to the sea. Water management is no rocket science, you store water when you have water in the rivers (3 months), and use it when there is no water in the rivers (9 months), as simple as A,B,C.
