  • Integrated Water Resources Management Through Efficient Reservoir Operation in Swat River Basin, Pakistan
    INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT THROUGH EFFICIENT RESERVOIR OPERATION IN SWAT RIVER BASIN, PAKISTAN Saqib Jahangir 1 Supervisors: Toshio Koike 2 MEE17733 Mohamed Rasmy 3 Yoshito Kikumori 3 Maksym Gusyev 4 ABSTRACT Pakistan receives approximately 80% of water through glacier/snowmelt of Himalayan and Hindukush ranges. Country faces alternate high floods in summer due to monsoon precipitations combined with accelerated glacier/snowmelt while agriculture droughts in winters due to insufficient water storage. Rainfall and snowmelt runoff modelling was performed in Swat River Basin considering degree day method for efficient reservoir operation to mitigate floods/droughts, water scarcity and energy crisis in the country. The proposed strategy considered environmental flows, existing irrigation requirements, proposed irrigation and municipal water supply requirements and hydropower generation in the order of priority of releases from reservoir besides conserving the flood water to carry over it for drought periods. Implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management policies like water conservation, crop substitution, rainwater harvesting, high efficiency irrigation systems, recycling of effluents and desalination of sea water remain the final solution to overcome the challenges of water scarcity, floods and drought mitigation. Keywords: Snowmelt, DDF, Reservoir Operation, IWRM INTRODUCTION “Pakistan suffers from Floods in summer and Droughts in winter” Pakistan possesses water resources of all kind including the groundwater, precipitations and glaciers. Country receives water mostly in summer from May to September. The main source of inflow in whole Indus Basin is glacier/snowmelt which is approximately 80% of the total inflow received during the whole year (Young and Hewitt, 1990). Pakistani rivers receive an average water inflow of 170.195 Billion Cubic Meter (BCM) annually.

Cundall, Jr., Darrell Hairston, and Anna Whiteside: University Honors Program Prologue: The Day My World Changed/ Chapter 1: A Daughter is Born 1) Why do so few people in Pakistan celebrate the birth of a baby girl? What is the attitude of Malala’s father’s toward the birth his daughter? 2) After whom is Malala named? 3) What are society’s expectations of girls? What are the attitudes of Malala and her father about the role of girls in society? 4) Before she was shot, did Malala fear for her own life? 5) Why do you think the KPK is independent? Does this cultural and geographical independence from the main part of Pakistan mean anything for the rest of Malala’s story? 6) What did Alexander the Great do when he reached the Swat Valley? 7) What are the various religions that have “ruled” the Swat Valley? The Swat Valley, Malala’ Yousafzai’s hometown, is known for its mountains, meadows, and lakes. Tourists often call it “the Switzerland of the East.” The Swat Valley was the home of Pakistan’s first ski resort. (Map Showing the Location of Swat District, Source: Pahari Sahib, Wikimedia Commons) The SWAT valley’s population is mostly made up of ethnic Gujjar and Pashtuns. The Yousafzais are Pashtuns, a group whose population is located primarily in Afghanistan and northwestern and western parts of Iran. (Ghabral, Swat Valley.

  • Hydrological Modeling of Haro River Watershed, Pakistan
    IJRRAS 30 (1) ● January 2017 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol30Issue1/IJRRAS_30_1_02.pdf HYDROLOGICAL MODELING OF HARO RIVER WATERSHED, PAKISTAN Mona A. Hagras 1 & Rasikh Habib 2 1 Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shamas University, Cairo, Egypt 2 National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Geographical Information System based semi distributed model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is used to model the hydrology of Haro river watershed 40 kilometer North West Islamabad, Pakistan. Thus, it aims to simulate the stream flow, establish the water balance and estimate the monthly volume inflow to Khanpur dam located at the basin outlet. SWAT model was calibrated for a ten years period from 1994 to 2003 and validated for a seven years period from 2004 to 2010. Statistical indicators; Pearson Correlation, Coefficient of Determination and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency were used to verify the simulation abilities of the model. Results illustrate a good performance for both calibration and validation periods and acceptable agreement between measured and simulated values of both annual and monthly discharge. The water balance components were estimated and presented here for the studied watershed. Finally, it is concluded that SWAT model can be used in semi-arid regions for the water resources management of the studied watershed. Key words: Hydrological modeling, Soil and Water Assessment Tool, Haro River, Khanpur Dam. 1. INTRODUCTION Pakistan is classified as one of the extremely high level water stress country in the world (Tianyi Luo et al., 2015). Agriculture in Pakistan uses well over 95% of the freshwater resources in addition to the high losses in the sprawling irrigation system.

  • Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, Northern Pakistan
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael D. Hylland for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on May 3. 1990 Title: Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills. Northern Pakistan Abstract approved: RobeS. Yeats The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable Proterozoic age, consisting of a thick basal argillaceous sequence (Manki Formation) overlain by algal limestone and shale (Shahkot, Utch Khattak, and Shekhai formations). These strata are intruded by diabase dikes and sills that may correlate with the Panjal Volcanics. Southern Gandghar Range strata occur in two structural blocks juxtaposed along the Baghdarra fault. The hanging wall consists entirely of isoclinally-folded Manki Formation, whereas the footwall consists of the complete Manki-Shekhai succession which has been deformed into tight, northeast-plunging, generally southeast (foreland) verging disharmonic folds. Phyllite near the Baghdarra fault displays kink bands, a poorly-developed S-C fabric, and asymmetric deformation of foliation around garnet porphyroblasts. These features are consistent with conditions of dextral shear, indicating reverse-slip displacement along the fault. South of the Gandghar Range, the Panjal fault brings the Gandghar Range succession over the Kherimar Hills succession, which is composed of a basal Precambrian arenaceous sequence (Hazara Formation) unconformably overlain by Jurassic limestone (Samana Suk Formation) which in turn is unconformably overlain by Paleogene marine strata (Lockhart Limestone and Patala Formation).
