Attabad: spillway flow update of 08:30 this morning

There is a mass of confusing and contradictory information about the state of flow in the Attabad spillway, but the FWO data appears to be consistent at the moment.  The latest data, again via Dr Sadiq,  is that flow was 3700 cusecs (105 cumecs) at 08:00 local time this morning.  This makes the graph look like this:


This suggests that we are still seeing an incremental increase in flow.  However, interestingly, the rate of inflow and the rate of outflow now appear to be balanced, such that the lake level should stop rising (for a while anyway).  If this happens, and spillway flow continues to increase, we will know that erosion is developing.
