	Pakistan Case Study - Executive Summary
		Following construction of Kotri barrage and the diversion of irrigation water, the number of years with zero flows was 80% during1962-67, 100% during post-Mangla (1967-75) and 96% during post Tarbela (1975-98) periods.
		While such impacts are primarily due to the construction of Kotri and Sukkur barrages that reduced downstream flow of sweet water into the Indus delta, the perception developed by communities downstream lends them to believe that any irrigation developments on the Indus further aggravate the situation in the Delta.
		However, this was predominately caused by the construction of barrages in the river and the reduction of dry season flows that commenced with the construction of Kotri barrage in the late 1950s.
