Glacier monitoring studies using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques have given rise to contradictory results for various reasons. This uncertain situation deserves a thorough examination of the statistical trends of temperature and streamflow at several gauging stations, rather than relying solely on climate projections. Planning for equitable distribution of water among provinces in Pakistan requires accurate estimation of future water resources under changing flow regimes. Due to climate change, hydrological parameters are changing significantly; consequently the pattern of flows are changing. The present study assesses spatial and temporal flow variability and identifies drought and flood periods using flow data from the Indus River. Trends and variations in river flows were investigated by applying the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s method. We divide the annual water cycle into two six-month and four three-month seasons based on the local water cycle pattern.

  • REFORMING PRIMARY EDUCATION in PAKISTAN in the INTEREST of U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Schoo
    REFORMING PRIMARY EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN IN THE INTEREST OF U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies By Maureen Bessingpas, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. November 21, 2009 Copyright © 2009 by Maureen Bessingpas All rights reserved. ii REFORMING PRIMARY EDUCATION IN PAKISTAN IN THE INTEREST OF U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY Maureen Bessingpas, B.A. Mentor: Joseph Smaldone, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This thesis analyzes the failures of Pakistan’s educational system and proposes concrete measures to reform it, drawing on local models that have proven successful. Specifically, it seeks to determine a link between U.S. security and a functional primary education system in the state of Pakistan. UNICEF and other global human rights institutions show that educating girls is one of the most lasting ways to increase stability, prosperity, and peace. When girls have the opportunity to obtain an education, their standard of living rises and their families have a better chance of escaping the cycle of poverty. There is a concern within the U.S. that the growing threat of terrorism is being bred among the villages in Pakistan where both education and employment opportunities are non-existent. The education system in Pakistan is unregulated, underfunded and in need of a complete overhaul. Pakistan has consistently spent less than 2% GDP on education, less than any developed nation outside of Africa. That combined with an exploding population has created an environment rich with uneducated and unemployed youth, who are currently being recruited into the anti-American insurgency known as the Taliban.

  • Survey of Ecotourism Potential in Pakistan's Biodiversity Project Area (Chitral and Northern Areas): Consultancy Report for IU
    Survey of ecotourism potential in Pakistan’s biodiversity project area (Chitral and northern areas): Consultancy report for IUCN Pakistan John Mock and Kimberley O'Neil 1996 Keywords: conservation, development, biodiversity, ecotourism, trekking, environmental impacts, environmental degradation, deforestation, code of conduct, policies, Chitral, Pakistan. 1.0.0. Introduction In Pakistan, the National Tourism Policy and the National Conservation Strategy emphasize the crucial interdependence between tourism and the environment. Tourism has a significant impact upon the physical and social environment, while, at the same time, tourism's success depends on the continued well-being of the environment. Because the physical and social environment constitutes the resource base for tourism, tourism has a vested interest in conserving and strengthening this resource base. Hence, conserving and strengthening biodiversity can be said to hold the key to tourism's success. The interdependence between tourism and the environment is recognized worldwide. A recent survey by the Industry and Environment Office of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP/IE) shows that the resource most essential for the growth of tourism is the environment (UNEP 1995:7). Tourism is an environmentally-sensitive industry whose growth is dependent upon the quality of the environment. Tourism growth will cease when negative environmental effects diminish the tourism experience. By providing rural communities with the skills to manage the environment, the GEF/UNDP funded project "Maintaining Biodiversity in Pakistan with Rural Community Development" (Biodiversity Project), intends to involve local communities in tourism development. The Biodiversity Project also recognizes the potential need to involve private companies in the implementation of tourism plans (PC II:9).
