Peak-Flood Inundation Map of the Peshawar Basin (A Case Study) Peak-Flood Inundation Map of the Peshawar Basin (A Case Study) Presenter: Shah F Khan Research Group members: M. Asif Khan (T.I), M. Ali & Abdul Wahab National Centre of Excellence in Geology, University of Peshawar Jindai River River Swat entering Indus River Peshawar Basin Terbela Resevoir River Kabul entering Peshawar Basin 2010 Super Flood in Peshawar Basin The 2010 flood in Peshawar Basin was one of the biggest floods in the history. Major rainstorm occurred in the NW Himlaya- Hindu Kush region July 28, 2010 and continued till July, 30, 2010 The flood started on July 28th and peaked July 29th and 30th. Major parts of Peshawar, Charsadda and Nowshera districts were inundated, with Mardan and Swabi Districts partially affected. Satistics : dead, houseses, livestock, cropland, etc. Objectives When the flood level went beyond the danger level the rescue/response became imminent. Rescue/Response was severely hindered by lack of knowledge about the location and distribution of affected/stranded population. Breakdown of road network. There was no flood map available for planner to pinpoint vulnerable area/population. This study was to document and create a flood map for Peshawar Basin for future such eventualities. Input Data 1. Post flood satellite image by NASA dated 04 August 2010 (A colour composite having blue, green, red and NIR bands) 2.

  • 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.

  • Buddhist Sculptures of Malakand Collection: Its History, Analysis and Classification
    106 Ancient Punjab – Volume 7, 2019 BUDDHIST SCULPTURES OF MALAKAND COLLECTION: ITS HISTORY, ANALYSIS AND CLASSIFICATION Amjad Pervaiz, Nafees Ahmad & Rizwan Nadeem ABSTRACT This study is about the selected sculptures of the Malakand collection, which delineate salient and conspicuous features of the Gandhāra Art. This collection has historical importance and shows diversification of different postures and actions. These sculptures represent the traditions and practices of Buddhism in Gandhāra and they portray the standard of art, the soul and spirit of the followers and artists. Basis of classifying sculptures is established on the confined and distinctive analysis and material of stone used in making the sculptures. To establish the chronology and to specify the exact area of origin, the sculptures were extensively and exhaustively studied from the viewpoint of Zonal Workshops. While observing the quality and style of the art along with material used for making the sculptures it becomes clear that the artist paid attention to the socio-economic and religious conditions of the time in his mind. Methodology used for research of the present study is based on descriptive as well as analytical approach. The architectural elements like Persepolitan and Corinthian pillars are still present and observed in the villages of Malakand and different parts of Gandhāra region. Keywords: Sculpures of Malakand, Gandhara Art, Buddhism, artists, stylistic analysis, socio-economic, religious condition, carving, architectural. INTRODUCTION Indian Sub-Continent has been the core of rich cultural heritage and the abode of civilization of the Indus valley. The researchers in archaeology, art, anthropology and history have brought out important information about developments that took place over the millennia.

Its sub-group named IP6 focuses on institutional change and livelihood strategies: State policies as well as other regional and international institutions – which are exposed to and embedded in national economies and processes of globalisation and global change – have an impact on local people's livelihood practices and strategies as well as on institutions developed by the people themselves. On the other hand, these institutionally shaped livelihood activities have an impact on livelihood outcomes and the sustainability of resource use. Understanding how the micro- and macro-levels of this institutional context interact is of vital importance for developing sustainable local natural resource management as well as supporting local livelihoods. For an update of IP6 activities see http://www.nccr-north-south.unibe.ch (>Individual Projects > IP6) The IP6 Working Paper Series presents preliminary research emerging from IP6 for discussion and critical comment.
