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). -

Baluchistan province was severely hit by flooding and the effects of the cyclone left some 2.5 million affected, including 300,000 displaced.

About eighteen out of twenty-nine districts across Baluchistan were affected along with five districts in Sindh. Infrastructure was severely undermined with roads and bridges damaged or destroyed and telecommunications was out in many areas. In Baluchistan and Sindh, the major need was to provide emergency food rations; shelter; water, sanitation, and hygiene; health services and non-food items (NFIs). The immediate objective was to provide food rations to the affected families for their basic nutrition needs for at least six weeks in targeted areas in Baluchistan and across four districts of Sindh. The second objection was the provision of non- food items for the families in the targeted Union Councils to meet basic household needs. The third objective was to meet the short-term shelter needs of the affected families in Sindh and Baluchistan. Finally, the fourth objective was meeting basic health needs, including water, sanitation and hygiene -

Worth mentioning is the fact that involvement of the Elected Members of the Provincial Assembly has excessively been helpful in identification of schemes in the constituencies having followed a well thought criteria. This has ensured that no sector has remained dormant as far its development and allocation of funds is concerned. Feasibility studies will be undertaken during FY 2011-12, especially for construction of mega dams to utilize 6.00 MAF flood water, which goes unutilized each year. Besides, feasibility studies for exploration and exploitation of viable minerals in the province will also be carried out. -

Barriers in Adopting Sustainable Agricultural Practices (Saps) Under Changing Climate in Balochistan, Pakistan
Pakistan Journal of Applied Social Sciences Vol. 12(1), 2021, pp.1-16, ISSN: 2409-0077(Print), ISSN: 2663-8894(Online) Barriers In Adopting Sustainable Agricultural Practices (SAPs) Under Changing Climate In Balochistan, Pakistan Ghulam Murtaza Department of Disaster Management and Development Studies University of Balochistan Siraj Bashir Department of Social Work University of Balochistan Abdul Khaliq Department of Disaster Management and Development Studies University of Balochistan Abstract Climate change is vital issue hindering sustainable agriculture development and adjustments in farming practices. Conventional agriculture practices often lead to environmental degradation, ground water depletion, financial issues and even social conflicts. The population of the globe is experiencing increased temperatures, low rainfall patterns with scarcity of water availability and drought persistence due to climate change. This article, thus, focuses on the challenges of adoption of sustainable agriculture practices (SAPs) in water scarce, drought prone province of Pakistan. Data was collected from 164 farmers by semi-structured questionnaire following multistage clustering sampling and empirically analyzed through Binary Logistic Regression Model. The results of the study elucidated that farmers’ education, their risk-taking behaviour, participation in training, limited availability and high cost of agriculture land, inherited system of irrigation, and access to agricultural credit as main barriers in adopting SAPs. The study recommends expansion of knowledge, planning, financial assistants from related institutes, proper training by the agriculture department and policy intervention to cope with these barriers that hold back the adoption of SAPs. The Government need to develop sustainable adaptive strategies for minimizing the adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture by on-farm demonstrations in the field thereby saving depleting water resources and encourage farmers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices. -
