During these floods, the ground communication systems were generally disrupted and information on flood extent and damage through ground reporting services was not available for taking timely decisions. To address the situation and to ensure continuous provision of current and timely information to the concerned stakeholder’s and decision makers satellite remote sensing and GIS technologies were extensively utilized. SUPARCO in collaboration with FAO started generating data on daily basis on flood extent, damage to households, infrastructure and crops besides undertaking detailed Damage Need Assessment (DNA). This fast track supply of information made it possible to reach out to affected and displaced masses for supply of food, medical care, relief, rehabilitation and follow up programs. In the aftermath of floods, monitoring of flood recession and ponding of water in the affected areas on decadal basis was also carried out for several months. All of this work was published by SUPARCO-FAO jointly in three reports (Reports 1 to 3).

  • Geospatial Analysis of Indus River Meandering and Flow Pattern from Chachran to Guddu Barrage, Pakistan Vol 9 (2), December 2018
    Geospatial Analysis of Indus River Meandering and Flow Pattern from Chachran to Guddu Barrage, Pakistan Vol 9 (2), December 2018 Open Access ORIGINAL ARTICLE Full Length Ar t icle Geospatial Analysis of Indus River Meandering and Flow Pattern from Chachran to Guddu Barrage, Pakistan Danish Raza* and Aqeel Ahmed Kidwai Department of Meteorology-COMSATS University Islamabad, Islamabad, Pakistan ABS TRACT Natural and anthropogenic influence affects directly ecologic equilibrium and hydro morphologic symmetry of riverine surroundings. The current research intends to study the hydro morphologic features (meanders, shape, and size) of Indus River, Pakistan by using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information science (GIS) techniques to calculate the temporal changes. Landsat satellite imagery was used for qualitative and analytical study. Satellite imagery was acquired from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Operational Land Imager (OLI). Temporal satellite imagery of study area was used to identify the variations of river morphology for the years 1988,1995,2002,2009 and 2017. Research was based upon the spatial and temporal change of river pattern with respect to meandering and flow pattern observations for 30 years’ temporal data with almost 7 years’ interval. Image preprocessing was applied on the imagery of the study area for the better visualization and identification of variations among the objects. Object-based image analysis technique was performed for better results of a feature on the earth surface. Model builder (Arc GIS) was used for calculation of temporal variation of the river. In observation many natural factor involves for pattern changes such as; floods and rain fall.

  • Status of the Indus River Dolphin Platanista Minor
    ORYX VOL 32 NO 1 JANUARY 1998 Status of the Indus River dolphin Platanista minor Randall R. Reeves and Abdul Aleem Chaudhry The endemic freshwater dolphins in the Indus River system of Pakistan, Platanista minor, have been considered endangered since the early 1970s. Measures taken to protect them from deliberate capture seem to have stopped a rapid decline, and combined counts in Sindh and Punjab provinces since the early 1980s suggest a total population of at least a few hundred animals. Severe problems remain, however. In addition to the risks inherent to any species with an effective population size in the low hundreds (at most), these dolphins are subject to long-term threats associated with living in an artificially controlled waterway used intensively by humans. Irrigation barrages partition the aggregate population into discrete subpopulations for much of the year. Dolphins that 'escape' during the flood season into irrigation canals or into reaches downstream of barrages where winter water levels are low have little chance of survival. A few dolphins probably die each year after being caught in fishing nets. Pollution by untreated urban sewage, agricultural runoff and industrial effluent threatens the health of the entire Indus system. The future of this dolphin species depends on Pakistan's commitment to protecting biological diversity in the face of escalating human demands on dwindling resources. Introduction In the early 1970s, G. Pilleri and his co- workers called world attention to the fact that The Indus River dolphin Platanista minor, Indus dolphins were declining rapidly (Pilleri known locally as bhulan, is endemic to the and Zbinden, 1973-74; Pilleri, 1980).

The GDP of the country in 2000/01 came down due to severe drought that occurred in the country. Situation changed in 2003/2004 because the country’s GDP was 6.4 percent higher than the government objective figures of 5.3 percent due mainly to the favorable conditions of the manufacturing sector, as well as the recovery of the agricultural sector. However, economy of the country is still on the decline due to problems of debt repayment, and other medium and long-term problems such as delay of adequate privatization, stagnation of agricultural productivity, sluggish growth of export industry, etc. Major problems in the fields of irrigation and drainage are summarized in the issues of: a) shortage of water resources in accordance with population increase, b) lowering of irrigation efficiencies caused by the deterioration of provided irrigation systems, c) facility damages due to water-logging and salt, water contamination, lowering of ground-water table, flood, and; d) shortages of operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to low recovery of water-charges, etc.

  • Water Resources Development in Pakistan a Revisit of Past Studies
    World Water Day 22nd March, 2014 56 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT IN PAKISTAN A REVISIT OF PAST STUDIES By Engr. Abdul Khaliq Khan1 Abstract Three-fourths of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. Only 1% of the World’s water is usable, about 97% is salty sea water and 2% is frozen in glaciers and ice caps. All life on earth depends on water. Population is increasing and hence water availability per person is reducing. Civilizations have historically flourished around rivers and major waterways and for centuries these waterways have been a source of their livelihood. In modern times a remarkable irrigation network was developed by the British in the Indus river basin and at the time of partition the dividing line of the sub-continent disregarded not only the topography but also the irrigation boundaries of the then existing canal supply system. This created great challenges for the water resources development work in Pakistan. This paper discusses the importance of water and its role in the economic development of a country through increase in agricultural and industrial development. It traces the path as to how in Pakistan over the last 67 years various studies were carried out for the planning and development of water resources in the country. It discusses the steps that need to be taken today so that ample water is made available for our future generations for their survival. 1. INTRODUCTION All life on Earth depends on water, whether it is a plant in a desert, an animal in a wilderness, an insect in a rock crevice or a fish in a lake.

  • 10-35 Waterworldwaterday 22 March 2014Water and Anex Izharul
    World Water Day 22nd March, 2014 10 WATER ENERGY NEXUS By Dr. Izhar ul Haq1 SYNOPSIS Pakistan has on the average about 145 MAF of surface flows per annum. Out of this on average 103 MAF is diverted for irrigation at various barrages, 10 MAF is the system loss and 32 MAF goes down the last barrage into sea every year. Mangla and Tarbela two mega Dams were built as a part of the replacement works of the Indus Basin Plan. Their storage capacity has reduced due to sedimentation. There are about 100 small to medium dams on tributaries but their storage capacity is small. Pakistan has presently storage capacity of 10% of annual flows against 40% World average. Construction of Kalabagh Dam is stalled due to non consensus of the provinces. Diamer Basha Dam, having the approval of Council of Common Interest and Political Consensus, is ready for construction since 2008 and is still awaiting the financing arrangement for construction. These are only a couple of mega storage sites on main river Indus. Pakistan must build storage dams not only for food self sufficiency but also for cheap hydropower and flood mitigation. Pakistan has hydropower potential of 60,000 MW out of which it has exploited only 11%. The share of hydropower has reduced from 60% to 32% of the total power generated. The dependence on the imported fossil fuel (oil) has pushed the power tariff upwards. Pakistan has 18 small to medium hydel stations and only 3 stations greater than 1000 MW. The hydel power produced by Mangla and Tarbela has been the main stay in the economy of Pakistan.
