The contrast reveals extensive flooding on the Kurram and Tochi River systems, which pour a cloud of sediment into the Indus River. Widespread floods also color the land east of the Indus River. Though these areas were among many experiencing flooding. However, the floods were not as severe as the destructive 2010 floods.
Just to mention, forecast says that situation in 2013 may worsen in last week of Monsoon. Clearly a disaster in the making.
