That makes sense. There really needs to be more investment in canal infrastructure in Northern Sindh and Southern Punjab. These kinds of floods were common in East Punjab/Himachal/Jammu back in the 70s and 80s (especially the 1988 flood [0]), but a lot of investment was put into meteorological forecasting, drainage, and disaster preparedness in the 90s and 2000s to try and mitigate something like that from happening again.
