This book was released on 2017 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with rapid resource degradation in the Indus river basin in Punjab, Pakistan, the provincial government of Punjab has identified 'integrated water resource management' as the guiding paradigm for achieving efficient, equitable and environmentally sustainable use of natural resources in the province. However, no clear roadmap for how multi-sectoral, 'integrated' resource management and governance can be operationalized exists. Focusing on irrigated agriculture in Punjab, this thesis uses a combination of historical, institutional and empirical analyses to investigate how 'integrated' food and water planning can be achieved in Punjab. The historical analysis traces how the idea of 'integration' in irrigated agriculture has evolved in Pakistan's colonial history and within the province of Punjab after independence. It reveals that both the departments of irrigation and agriculture have highlighted the need for vertical and horizontal integration within and between the departments throughout their existence. They have experimented with various institutional configurations and many reforms, like the creation of the On-Farm Water Management directorate and introduction of participatory irrigation management, have been implemented in an effort to achieve this integration. The institutional analysis explores how planning is done within and across the provincial departments of agriculture and irrigation. It finds that currently only the provincial tiers are responsible for planning within the two departments while the sub-provincial tiers are responsible for management and operational functions. Coordination between the departments happens by way of the provincial Planning and Development department as the final approver of their proposed plans. Finally, the empirical analysis uses annually collected departmental data to develop metrics that can enable integrated planning of irrigated agriculture. In conclusion, this thesis uses the idea of boundary spanning organizations and objects and builds on the historical, institutional and empirical analysis to propose recommendations for how planning in the Indus River Basin of Punjab can be re-imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, Indus basin of Pakistan: the impacts of climate risks on water and agriculture was undertaken at a pivotal time in the region. The weak summer monsoon in 2009 created drought conditions throughout the country. This followed an already tenuous situation for many rural households faced with high fuel and fertilizer costs and the impacts of rising global food prices. Then catastrophic monsoon flooding in 2010 affected over 20 million people, devastating their housing, infrastructure, and crops. Damages from this single flood event were estimated at US dollar 10 billion, half of which were losses in the agriculture sector. Notwithstanding the debate as to whether these observed extremes are evidence of climate change, an investigation is needed regarding the extent to which the country is resilient to these shocks. It is thus timely, if not critical, to focus on climate risks for water, agriculture, and food security in the Indus basin of Pakistan.

Book excerpt: Farming communities in water-scarce regions increasingly practice the use of urban wastewater in agriculture. Untreated urban wastewater is generally considered unacceptable for direct use because of potential health risks. However, in many parts of the world, poor farmers in peri-urban areas use untreated wastewater. This situation is considered likely to continue even in the foreseeable future due to the high investment cost associated with the installation of treatment facilities.
