The Geology of Besham Area, Noth
Geol. Bull. Univ. Peshawar, 1989, Vol. 22, pp. 65-82 MATHEW P. WILLIAMS Dept of Geology, Imperial College, London, SW7 2BP, U.K. ABSTRACT The gneisses, granites and metasediments of the northern exposed margin of the Indian plate in the Besham antiform consist of a Precambrian crystalline base- ment with younger sedimentary cover. These were metamorphosed during the main fabric-forming event of the Himalayan orogeny, a ductile simple shear dominated deformation of the footwall of the MMT during southward overthrusting of the Kohistan Arc. Deformation intensity and ductility decrease southwards. Subsequent thrusting brought together internally imbricated blocks which have diferent defor- mationlmetamorphic histories. High grade rocks thrust over low grade rocks within each block deJine an inverted metamorphic gradient produced by post-metamor- phic thrusting. Major cross folding producing the Besham antiform, plus brittle . faults are expressions of the later N-W directed backthrusting and E-W compres- sion and uplift of the Besham area. INTRODUCTION In N. Pakistan the Indus-Tsangpo Suture separating the Asian and Indo-Pakistan plates bifurcates around the Kohistan Arc, an island arc sequence with its base exposed in the south and its top in the north (Bard et al., 1980; Bard 1983; Coward et al., 1982), (Fig. 1). The Southern Suture is represented along most of its length by the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT of Tahirkheli et al., 1976, 1979), a north dipping thrust zone up to several kilometres thick of melange consisting of a mixture of serpentinites, greenschists and some blueschists (Kazmi et al., 1984; Lawrence et al., 1989). The Northern Suture is thought to have closed in the mid Cretaceous (Coward et al., 1986), while the Southern Suture closed about 53-50Ma ago (Patriat and Achache, ,1984).

Forestry in the Princely State of Swat and Kalam (North-West Pakistan)
Forestry in the Princely State of Swat and Kalam (North-West Pakistan) A Historical Perspective on Norms and Practices IP6 Working Paper No.6 Sultan-i-Rome, Ph.D. 2005 Forestry in the Princely State of Swat and Kalam (North-West Pakistan) A Historical Perspective on Norms and Practices IP6 Working Paper No.6 Sultan-i-Rome, Ph.D. 2005 The Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) North-South is based on a network of partnerships with research institutions in the South and East, focusing on the analysis and mitigation of syndromes of global change and globalisation. 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.

MEDIUM TERM BUDGET ESTIMATES for SERVICE DELIVERY Output Based Budgeting 2019-22
MEDIUM TERM BUDGET ESTIMATES FOR SERVICE DELIVERY Output Based Budgeting 2019-22 GOVERNMENT OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA FINANCE DEPARTMENT https://www.finance.gkp.pk I Medium Term Budget Estimates 2019-22 Preamble I am honored to present the Medium Term Budget Estimates for Service Delivery (2019/22) as an integral component of the budget of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Financial Year (FY) 2019/20. This compilation is a manifestation of the Medium Term Budgetary Framework (MTBF) with Output Based Budgeting (OBB) methodology as adopted by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP). OBB, as the name suggests, focuses directly on improving the ability of budgeting to achieve Efficiency and Effectiveness. However, full-fledged implementation of OBB within the broader framework of MTBF at departmental level is still a challenge. Nevertheless, the GoKP has employed a methodical and coherent approach to improve capacity of departments in reviewing and further improving their KPIs to enable them to undertake structural and procedural reforms in due course of time. In February and March 2019, Finance Department conducted a comprehensive exercise with administrative departments for “Rationalization of current budget”. The exercise provided further impetus to the administrative departments to assess and evaluate their activities and outputs from OBB perspective. Moreover, the timely initiation of budget cycle for budget 2019/20 with a composite approach exhibits the next generation improvements to optimize the implementation of OBB for improved public service delivery. Like last year, this year too OBB features a strong citizen perspective ensured through a formal SMS based Citizens’ Budget Poll for 2019/20, which reached around 8.5 million citizen both within settled and newly merged Districts of the Province.

Variability and Trend Detection in the Sediment Load of the Upper Indus River
water Article Variability and Trend Detection in the Sediment Load of the Upper Indus River Sardar Ateeq-Ur-Rehman * ID , Minh Duc Bui ID and Peter Rutschmann ID Chair of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering, Technical University of Munich, Arcisstr. 21, D-80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] (M.D.B.); [email protected] (P.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-89-289-27161; Fax: +49-89-289-23172 Received: 14 November 2017; Accepted: 21 December 2017; Published: 25 December 2017 Abstract: Water reservoirs planned or constructed to meet the burgeoning energy and irrigation demands in Pakistan face a significant loss of storage capacity due to heavy sediment load from the upper Indus basin (UIB). Given their importance and the huge investment, assessments of current UIB sediment load and possible future changes are crucial for informed decisions on planning of optimal dams’ operation and ensuring their prolonged lifespan. In this regard, the daily suspended sediment loads (SSLs) and their changes are analyzed for the meltwater-dominated zone up to the Partab Bridge and the whole UIB up to Besham Qila, which is additionally influenced by monsoonal rainfall. The gaps between intermittent suspended sediment concentration (SSC) samples are filled by wavelet neural networks (WA-ANNs) using discharges for each site. The temporal dynamics of SSLs and discharges are analyzed using a suite of three non-parametric trend tests while the slope is identified using Sen’s slope estimator. We found disproportional spatio-temporal trends between SSLs and discharges caused primarily by intra-annual shifts in flows, which can lead to increased trap efficiency in planned reservoirs, especially upstream of Besham Qila.
