As the most abundant molecule in human body cells, water accounts for 70% of the total cell mass. Body functions including food digestion, circulatory processes and lubrication of joints require water. It is also important for regulating body temperature. Without water there would be no vegetation on Earth and consequently no oxygen for breathing. In a nutshell, there won’t be any life without water. Water signifi- cantly influences the ecological, biogeochemical and geomorphological processes and plays a critical role in the functioning of an ecosystem. Its critical role in photosynthesis and the circulation and movement of different elements in the ecosystem makes water invaluable. Water is a key driver for economic and social development of any country. The fact that water is important for agriculture, energy, transport and all types of production industries proves that water plays a significant role in human societies. Agricultural economies like Pakistan, are heavily dependent on water. Considering the changes in global climate and their impacts on the water resources, it is necessary to focus on the study of our water resources and to give the required attention to sustainable development and proper management of water sector. The basic function of water in maintaining the integrity of the natural environment cannot be overlooked. There- fore, an integrated approach for managing water resources and addressing environmental issues is indispens- able. Thus, knowing the importance of sustainable management of water and environmental issues in Pakistan, USPCAS-W, MUET, Jamshoro organized a Two-Day Young Researcher’s National Conference on Water and Environment (NCWE-17). The objective of this conference is to provide an ideal academic platform to young researchers and scholars from all over the country to present, share and exchange their latest findings about water and environment re- lated issues. Papers on different themes were presented in parallel session to provide opportunities for delegates throughout the country to share their scholarly knowledge, skills and experience with focus on water, environ- ment and communal challenges. The conference was focused on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, 6 and 13.

Email of corresponding Author: [email protected] Literature Review This study was carried out to analyze the quality of water being supplied to MUET through its water Treatment and Distribution System (T&DS) by taking into account seasonal variations. This study also checked the per- formance of the MUET T&DS. The water for MUET T&DS is taken from K.B. Feeder canal which takes off from river Indus at Kotri barrage. The quality of the intake water was observed to be mainly dependent upon the quality of the water in the river Indus. Parameters including temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity, pH, DO and turbidity were measured on different sites of water treatment and distribution net- work on weekly basis from May 2016 to April 2017. Other than K.B. Feeder intake point, the sites in the water treatment plant include coagulation tank (in & out), slow sand filter and treated water storage tank in MUET treatment plant. On the other hand MUET storage tank of distribution system, Environmental Engineering (EE) department and Institute of Water Resources Engineering & Management (IWREM) were selected in water distribution network. However total Coliforms were analyzed in the department of EE, MUET, Jamshoro by col- lecting water samples from GM Syed Hostel, Latif Hostel, Post filter tank, Inlet Water Treatment Plant (WTP), Outlet WTP, IWREM, IEEM and Office of Research, Innovation and Commercializ ation (ORIC) in the month of November and December 2016. The current water treatment system does not offer adequate disinfection as was indicated from positive results obtained after analyzing samples for Total coliform. The average values of temperature were exceeding WHO limit of 25ºC at all locations except slow sand filter and post filter storage tank. The average values of turbidity at all

    gg1 Stories of Change: Case Study Challenge Stories of Change: Case Study Challenge Azim Premji University 2019-2020 gg 12 Stories of Change: Case Study Challenge Stories of Change: Case Study Challenge Azim Premji University Modern India has a history of a vibrant and active social sector. Many local development organisations, community organizations, social movements and non-governmental organisations populate the space of social action. Such organisations imagine a different future and plan and implement social interventions at different scales, many of which have lasting impact on the lives of people and society. However, their efforts and, more importantly, the learning from these initiatives remains largely unknown not only in the public sphere but also in the worlds of ‘development practice’ and ‘development education’. This shortfall impedes the process of learning and growth across interventions, organizations and time. While most social sector organizations acknowledge this deficiency in documentation and knowledge creation, they find themselves strapped for time and motivation to embark on such efforts. Writing with a sense of reflection and self-analysis which goes beyond mere documentation and creates a platform for learning requires time and space. As a result, their writing is usually limited to documentation captured in grant proposals or project updates or ‘good practices’ literature with inadequate focus on capturing the nuances, boundaries and limitations of action. Recognizing this need, the Azim Premji University launched ‘Stories of Change: Case Study Challenge’ with the objective of encouraging social sector organisations to invest in developing a grounded knowledge base for the sector. We are delighted to report that in the inaugural year of this challenge (2018 – 19) we received 95 cases, covering interventions from education, sustainability, livelihoods, preservation of culture and community health.

ARAIN Centre for Pure and Applied Geology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro, Pakistan Received 20th January 2020 and Revised 11th July 2020 Abstract: Geophysical and Geochemical investigations were carried out at the exposed rocks around Aliabad area near Jamshoro city in Sindh, for the exploration of iron ore deposit. An area of 2.5 km2 has been covered through detailed ground magnetic survey at the line interval of 500m and station interval of 100m. Magnetic data interpreted that only 27nT magnetic signature occurs in study area. 2D and 3D magnetic maps interpreted that magnetic response was very low due to the presence of hematite type iron ore deposits. Total eight samples of iron ore were collected along profile with different interval and analyzed in scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). SEM data shows the highest peaks of iron, silicon and oxygen. That indicates the composition of quartz and iron, color of samples is dark grey to light grey and texture is medium to fine grains, the whitish color grains indicate the iron and dark grey grains indicate the Quartz is present in SEM image. The discrimination of geochemical data particularly the Harker’s bivariate plots indicate the source being rich in silicon dioxide and iron.

  • Modeling the Economics of Grassland Degradation in Banni, India, Using System Dynamics
    Modeling the Economics of Grassland Degradation in Banni, India, using System Dynamics Mihir Mathur, Kabir Sharma The Energy and Resources Institute Darbari Seth Block, IHC Complex, Lodhi Road, New Delhi - 110 003, INDIA Tel. (+91 11) 2468 2100 and 41504900 Fax (+91 11) 2468 2144 and 2468 2145 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Research Funded by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Government of India Abstract This is a study on the interactions between the grassland, livestock, the invasive species Prosopis juliflora and the economy of the Banni grasslands, located in the district of Kachchh, Gujarat, India. The study focuses on modeling grassland degradation of Banni from 1992-2015 and simulates future scenarios up to 2030 using system dynamics modeling. An economic valuation of Banni’s economy is done by discounting the future earnings of the pastoral economy (milk, livestock sale, dung manure) and charcoal economy under two scenarios 1) Base case (Business as Usual), i.e. keeping things as they stand today and 2) Prosopis Removal Policy (PRP) i.e. where a decision is implemented to remove Prosopis from Banni. Under the BAU scenario, modeling results indicate that the Banni grassland is headed for severe fodder scarcity due to shrinking area under grassland. If PRP is implemented then Banni would be able to revive its grasslands and more than double the Present Value of future earnings, up to 2030. If the policy decision to remove Prosopis is delayed by 5 years then it results into a 30% reduction in earnings indicating the policy’s time sensitivity.
