Z.1* – CHEN, X. L.1 – CHISENGA, C.1 – MAHMOOD, S.2 1State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China 2Department of Geography, Government College University, Lahore, Pakistan *Corresponding author email: [email protected]; phone: +86-27-6877-8755 (Received 29th May 2019; accepted 16th Oct 2019) Abstract. The paper investigates the causes, magnitude and damage caused by the flood as a result of the breaching of the east marginal embankment of the Taunsa Barrage. The flood frequency in the district of Muzaffar Garh located in south Punjab, Pakistan had serious impacts on human lives and their properties. To pursue this study, we used primary data, collected through questionnaire, formal interviews, field observations and secondary data, obtained through government departments and online open source databases. Furthermore, Landsat ETM+ imageries were used as input in the supervised classification in order to investigate the pre and post flooding land cover and land use. Hydrograph was used to analyze the flood limits and spatiotemporal change in river discharge for barrages. The results show an abnormal rainfall occurring in the month of July in the upper Indus Basin, which resulted in a massive discharge in the central Indus Basin. As a consequence, it exceeded the flood limits at the Taunsa Barrage, which resulted in the breaching of east marginal embankment.

  • Prospects for Alleviating Poverty and Protecting the Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary, Indus River, Pakistan, Through Cultural and Eco-Tourism
    PROSPECTS FOR ALLEVIATING POVERTY AND PROTECTING THE TAUNSA BARRAGE WILDLIFE SANCTUARY, INDUS RIVER, PAKISTAN, THROUGH CULTURAL AND ECO-TOURISM Z. Ali1*, S. Y. Shelly2, F. Bibi3, Z. A. Nasir4,5, I. Colbeck5and J. R. A. Butler6 1Environmental Health and Wildlife, Zoology Department, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan 2 Department of Zoology, Lahore College for Women University, Lahore, Pakistan 3Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Pakistan 4School of Energy, Environment and Agrifood, Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, MK43 0AL, UK 5Biological Science Department, University of Essex, UK. 6Social and Economic Sciences Program CSIRO Ecosystem Sciences GPO Box 2583, Brisbane, QLD 4001, Australia *Corresponding Author Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The common assumption about protected areas is that they aggravate poverty amongst local residents by excluding them from livelihood activities such as fishing, agriculture, tourism and logging. It has been increasingly recognized that protected areas should instead contribute to sustaining the resident communities of surrounding areas. Eco-tourism could be an alternative form of income generation and has a substantial potential to boost and develop a relationship between people and nature. At the Taunsa Barrage Wildlife Sanctuary (TBWS), on the Indus River, Pakistan, local communities rely on local ecosystem services for up to 90% of their daily needs. To determine the potential for eco-tourism growth a SWOT analysis (Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) was designed based on discussion with stake holders (including community representative, non-governmental and governmental agencies)and personal observation during 2010. It is proposed as an approach for communities to utilize otherwise marginal cultural or ecological assets.Sustainability and involvement are both fundamental for the enduring future of this form of tourism.
