Provinces shown as N/A

Balochistan, Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Islamabad Capital Territory appear as N/A on the map. IRSA's public daily report covers only the major multipurpose storage reservoirs on the Indus River System — Tarbela, Mangla and Chashma — which sit in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Punjab. The other provinces and territories are served mainly by barrages and run-of-river schemes (which divert flow rather than store it) or by smaller dams with no publicly accessible volumetric storage data, so they have no tracked reservoir.
