  • Hydrological Modeling of Haro River Watershed, Pakistan
    IJRRAS 30 (1) ● January 2017 www.arpapress.com/Volumes/Vol30Issue1/IJRRAS_30_1_02.pdf HYDROLOGICAL MODELING OF HARO RIVER WATERSHED, PAKISTAN Mona A. Hagras 1 & Rasikh Habib 2 1 Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shamas University, Cairo, Egypt 2 National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan ABSTRACT Geographical Information System based semi distributed model, Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is used to model the hydrology of Haro river watershed 40 kilometer North West Islamabad, Pakistan. Thus, it aims to simulate the stream flow, establish the water balance and estimate the monthly volume inflow to Khanpur dam located at the basin outlet. SWAT model was calibrated for a ten years period from 1994 to 2003 and validated for a seven years period from 2004 to 2010. Statistical indicators; Pearson Correlation, Coefficient of Determination and Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency were used to verify the simulation abilities of the model. Results illustrate a good performance for both calibration and validation periods and acceptable agreement between measured and simulated values of both annual and monthly discharge. The water balance components were estimated and presented here for the studied watershed. Finally, it is concluded that SWAT model can be used in semi-arid regions for the water resources management of the studied watershed. Key words: Hydrological modeling, Soil and Water Assessment Tool, Haro River, Khanpur Dam. 1. INTRODUCTION Pakistan is classified as one of the extremely high level water stress country in the world (Tianyi Luo et al., 2015). Agriculture in Pakistan uses well over 95% of the freshwater resources in addition to the high losses in the sprawling irrigation system.

  • Biological Control of Cat's Claw Creeper, Macfadyena Unguis-Cati (L.)
    Biological control of cat’s claw creeper, Macfadyena unguis-cati (L.) A.H.Gentry (Bignoniaceae), in South Africa A.M. King*, H.E. Williams & L.G. Madire Agricultural Research Council-Plant Protection Research Institute, Private Bag X134, Queenswood, 0121 South Africa The exotic vine Macfadyena unguis-cati (L.) A.H.Gentry (Bignoniaceae), cat’s claw creeper,has become a significant threat to the biodiversity of a variety of sensitive ecosystems in South Africa. Owing to the nature of the infestations, as well as the difficulties and prohibitive costs associated with both mechanical and chemical controls, biological control is considered to be the most practical and sustainable means of successfully managing the weed in South Africa. The biological control programme against M. unguis-cati was initiated in 1996 and resulted in the release of Charidotis auroguttata Boheman (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Cassidinae). Despite repeated releases, initial rates of establishment were low. Where successfully estab- lished, populations of the beetle have been slow to build-up, leading to only limited impact on the weed. Prompted by this lack of success, as well as the high potential for further spread of the weed, additional natural enemies were sought. Two lace bugs, Carvalhotingis visenda Drake & Hambleton, and Carvalhotingis hollandi Drake (Hemiptera: Tingidae), a leaf-mining beetle Hylaeogena (Hedwigiella) jureceki Obenberger (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), a leaf-tying moth Hypocosmia pyrochroma Jones (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and a seed-feeding weevil Apteromechus notatus (Hustache) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were subsequently imported into quarantine in South Africa for host-specificity testing. With the exception of A. notatus, all have been approved for release and are exhibiting promising initial rates of establishment and damage at a number of field localities.

  • 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.

  • Pakistan Metropolitan Water Supply Project (Khanpur I) 1. Project Profile and Japan's ODA Loan 1.1 Background
    Pakistan Metropolitan Water Supply Project (Khanpur I) Report Date: February 2003 Field Survey: November 2002 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Turkmenistan Uzbekistan Tajikistan China Project site: Islamabad Afghanistan Project site: Rawalpindi Islamic Republic of Pakistan Iran Indus River India Arabian Sea Project site The Khanpur water filtration plant water supply pump (front tank) 1.1 Background The capital of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was located in Karachi during the period following the country’s independence in 1956. It was determined that the capital would be shifted to Islamabad, however, in 1959, with construction of the new capital actually taking place in 1961. In 1987, the population of Islamabad stood at 280,000, or 1.32 million including the neighboring old city of Rawalpindi and farming areas in the vicinity. The population was forecast to rise to 2.07 million by the year 2000. In 1980, the government of Pakistan established a 10-year plan on water supply systems as part of social infrastructure development with the goal of providing the entire urban population and 66% of the rural population with water by 1990. Further, the country’s sixth five-year economic development plan (1983-1988) set goals for the provision of water supply1 at 59% for the entire country, a level which was to cover 90% of urban areas and 45% of rural areas. Though actual figures as of 1988 fell slightly short of the targets, standing at 53%, 80%, and 40% respectively, reasons for the shortfall were largely attributed to lack of capital. The seventh five-year plan (1988-1993) called for heightened coverage of 81% for the entire country, 95% for urban districts (100% for metropolitan areas), and 75% for rural areas.
