  • Diversity and Conservation of Amphibians and Reptiles in North Punjab, Pakistan
    Diversity and conservation of amphibians and reptiles in North Punjab, Pakistan. MUHAMMAD RAIS, SARA BALOCH, JAVERIA REHMAN, MAQSOOD ANWAR, IFTIKHAR HUSSAIN AND TARIQ MAHMOOD Department of Wildlife Management, PMAS Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Corresponding Author: Muhammad Rais, Visiting Scholar, Department of Biology, Indiana-Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT - Amphibians and reptiles are the most neglected and least studied wildlife groups in Pakistan. The present study was conducted in the selected areas of districts Rawalpindi, Islamabad and Chakwal, North Punjab, Pakistan, to obtain data on herpetofaunal species richness and abundance from February, 2010 to January, 2011 using area-constrained searches. A total of 35 species of amphibians and reptiles (29 genera, 16 families, four orders) were recorded from the study area. Of the recorded species, 30 were reptiles (25 genera, 13 families, three orders) and five were amphibians (four genera, three families and a single order). A total of 388 individuals belonging to 11 recognizable taxonomic units (RTUs) with a population density of 0.22 individuals/ ha. and 4.10 encounters were recorded. Of the recorded RTUs, two (lacertids and skinks) were rated as uncommon, seven (hard-shell turtles, soft-shell turtles, agamids, gekkonids, medium and large-sized lizards, non-venomous snakes and venomous snakes) as frequent and two (toads and frogs) as common. Districts Rawalpindi/ Islamabad had higher species richness while District Chakwal had relatively higher species diversity and evenness. Threatened species of the area included the Narrow-headed Soft-shell Turtle (Chitra indica), Indian Soft-shell Turtle (Nilssonia gangetica), Peacock Soft-shell Turtle (Aspideretes hurum), and Brown River Turtle (Pangshura smithii).

It has recognised water as a critical determinant of peace and development in many parts of the world. This paper brings together these two strands in our work. It will be in order to recall some of the earlier work done by Strategic Foresight Group to urge rationality in India- Pakistan relations. In 2004, we published the first ever comprehensive assessment of Cost of Conflict between India-Pakistan in a report with this title. In 2005 we published The Final Settlement where we strongly argued that integrated water development would need to be a part of long-lasting solution between the two countries. Since then we have been regularly advocating a pragmatic approach for India and Pakistan to foster cooperation and move ahead to enable social and economic development of their people, instead of wasting precious resources on terrorism, counter terrorism and an arms race. We initiated work on water on the advice of an international conference onResponsibility to the Future, which was co-hosted by SFG with the United Nations Global Compact, inaugurated by the President of India and attended by delegates from 25 countries in June 2008.

  • Brief on Water Pollution Water – the Essential Resource
    Brief on Water Pollution Water – the essential resource Fresh water as a commodity generates concern being an exhaustible resource and due to the environmental issues related to its degradation. Preserving the quality and availability of freshwater resources however, is becoming the most pressing of many environmental challenges for Pakistan. Perhaps, because water is considered a cheap readily available resource, there is not enough appreciation just how much stress human demands for water are placing on natural ecosystems. Pressures The stress on water resources is from multiple sources and the impact can take diverse forms. The growth of urban megalopolises, increased industrial activity and dependence of the agricultural sector on chemicals and fertilizers has led to the overcharging of the carrying capacity of our water bodies to assimilate and decompose wastes. Deterioration in water quality and contamination of lakes, rivers and ground water aquifers has therefore resulted. The following sub-sections present a closer analysis of various sources of pressure on the country’s water resource base. Increasing Population In 2004, Pakistan stated a population growth rate of 1.9% while the projected figures reached 173 million by 2010 and 221 million by 2025. These estimates suggest that the country would slip below the limit of 1000m3 of water per capita per year from 2010 onwards. The situation could get worse in areas situated outside Indus basin where annual average is already below 1000m3 per head. Water Shortage Water shortage is yet another major obstacle to the development of the country in terms of food security, economic development and industrialization. Even if an improvement of 50% in agricultural productivity with respect to the use of water is considerable, this however remains an unrealistic target.

Assessment of the impacts of landuse changes is essential for watershed management and sustainable development. In this study, a soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was used to assess the landuse changes impacts on runoff generation in Simly dam watershed located 30 km east of Islamabad, Pakistan with a catchment area of 156 km2.The simulation was performed for three time periods 1991-92, 2000-01, 2009-10 on a monthly time step. The model was calibrated using the auto-calibration tool SWAT- CUP. Model predicted surface runoff volumes with Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) ranges from 0.81 to 0.83. The results of the scenarios revealed that expansion of urban areas from 5% to 10% indicated 1.2% and 0.2% increase in the surface runoff and water yield respectively, expansion of forests areas from 46% to 66% indicated 9.3% and 2.5% decrease in the surface runoff and water yield respectively and deforestation of the catchment from 46% to 36% indicated 6.7% and 2.2% increase in the surface runoff and water yield respectively.

Land Resources The country’s geographical area is 79.61 million hectares (mha), excluding the Northern Areas of Pakistan. Out of this, only 72 percent area has been reported indicating a major limitation that 28 percent area is not yet surveyed for land use classification. The reported area is further classified into four major classes: (a) forest area of 4.02 mha; (b) area not available for cultivation of 22.88 mha; (c) culturable waste of 8.12 mha; and (d) cultivated area of 22.05 mha. Out of the reported area, around 8.1 mha are available for future agriculture and other uses, if water is made available. If rest of the area (28 percent) is also surveyed then one can have better picture of country’s land resources (Table 1).

  • Morphological and Hydrological Responses of Soan and Khad Rivers 269
    Morphological and hydrological responses of Soan and Khad rivers 269 MORPHOLOGICAL AND HYDROLOGICAL RESPONSES OF SOAN AND KHAD RIVERS TO IMPERVIOUS LAND USE IN DISTRICT MURREE, PAKISTAN Fida Hussain, Abdul Khaliq, M. Irfan Ashraf, Irshad A. Khan* ABSTRACT The study was conducted during 2005 to 2009 in District Muree, Pakistan. Rapid degradation of watersheds due to soil erosion, deforestation, urbanization is the critical issue in high hill areas. Housing and infrastructure development, being the top priority of government is also impacting the health of watersheds; resultantly our dams are losing their capacity due to increased sedimentation. The study aimed at assessing the current magnitude and distribution of development in two important watersheds of Punjab. The assessment was carried out by correlating infrastructure development with soil erosion and regime of water in the channels. Impervious land use in Simly watershed is increasing at a pace of 1.91 % per year and presently it is 13.23 % of the total area. It has also been determined that at current pace of development, 16.84 % of the area in Simly will be under impervious land use by 2020. Based on the land use of the area, different channels in Simly stream system were categorized into urbanizing, agriculture and forest and main channel. The study revealed that the soil erosion is more in areas under impervious land use or where the land is disturbed due to developmental activities. The sediment load in different categories of channels was studied. It was found that sediment load in the urbanizing water channel was highest (26.03 g/l) followed by agriculture (8.86 g/l), and forest was the least (1.73 g/l) contributor of sediment in the channels.
