We compiled the spatial distribution of six aspects of ecological value for geographical targeting of conservation priority areas. A Geographic Information System (GIS) based overlay analysis of ecological dynamics was carried out. Indices for forest cover, vegetation zones, endemic mammals, highly significant wetlands, bird species richness and mammal species richness were developed by compiling the secondary data into Geographic Information System. Analytical hierarchy process was used to weight these indicators and also multi-attribute utility theory to combine them into a single spatial layer of ecological value. On the basis of these indices each district was ranked within its respective province/administrative territory. The results highlighted ranking of districts in order of their ecological significance within the province for all the provinces/administrative territories. The study is a pioneer study to identify administrative areas of high ecological value and can guide in setting the conservation priorities. The current broad scale study can help decision makers in provincial level policy making.

Evaluation of Seawater Intrusions in Left Bank Sediments of Coastal District Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan
Session 6 - Intrusion In Sedimentary Aquifers Evaluation of seawater intrusions in left bank sediments of coastal district Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan. Saeed Ahmed Bablani & Saeed Ahmed Soomro Abstract Due to insufficient fresh water flow downstream the barrage, which is about 175 km from the coast, has worsened Kotri barrage built on river Indus and very meager rainfall in the eco system & environment of the region due to seawater the area, seawater from Arabian sea has penetrated into coastal intrusions in coastal district Thatta of Pakistan. sediments of southern Sindh, Pakistan. And due to large mixing The Ghijben-Herzberg relationship of Fresh-Saltwater of seawater into groundwater, the coastal aquifer system has been polluted at alarming level and environment & ecosystem equilibrium [1] requires that the water table or the piezometric have been damaged in the region. surface lies above the sea level and slopes downward towards To evaluate the extent of seawater intrusions in the area, three the sea. Without these conditions, seawater will advance techniques isotopic, chemical analysis and geophysical survey directly inland. In coastal areas of district Thatta, the water were applied. The water sampling network based on installation table gradient has reversed its slope, which is towards the land of six piezometers, two each at Sujawal, Jati and Shah Bundar now. Hence seawater has intruded into the coastal sediments area was established. Water samples were collected upto the and has polluted the aquifer system of the area. depth of eighty feet from the ground surface through piezometers to perform isotopic analysis for determination of Oxygen 18 & To detect and to investigate the seasonal changes in Deuterium isotopes (18O & 2H) and chemical analysis for seawater intrusions on the left bank of river Indus, six determination of Chloride & Bicarbonate ions ratio.
