Rawal, Khanpur and Simly dams serving the cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi have dropped to critically low levels after record-low rainfall and intense heat, leaving only about one to two months' water supply, with authorities warning a monsoon delay past the end of June could trigger a severe water shortage.
