Attabad overtopping – first image
Posted by Dave Petley
The Daily Times has published the first picture of the spillway in operation:
Meanwhile, the Pamir Times reports that: “The volume of water passing through the spillway has reportedly increased to around 50 Cusecs”. 50 Cusecs is 1.4 cubic metres per second. This is still a fraction of the total inflow, so we have a long way to go.
