Numerous studies have been conducted on the salinity status in Pakistan. Information about the geospatial and temporal distribution of salinity in the Sujawal district is still lacking. The present study examines the soil salinity status and the impact of seawater intrusion in the entire district from 1990 to 2017 using field and remote sensing (RS) data.

    Session 6 - Intrusion In Sedimentary Aquifers Evaluation of seawater intrusions in left bank sediments of coastal district Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan. Saeed Ahmed Bablani & Saeed Ahmed Soomro Abstract Due to insufficient fresh water flow downstream the barrage, which is about 175 km from the coast, has worsened Kotri barrage built on river Indus and very meager rainfall in the eco system & environment of the region due to seawater the area, seawater from Arabian sea has penetrated into coastal intrusions in coastal district Thatta of Pakistan. sediments of southern Sindh, Pakistan.

  • Environmental and Social Management Framework Pakistan
    Environmental and Social Management Public Disclosure Authorized Framework Pakistan Integrated Literacy and Skills Development for Youth Project Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Draft Public Disclosure Authorized Sanjh Preet Organization Date: June 30, 2020 Pakistan Integrated Literacy and Skills Development for Youth Project Executive Summary Introduction Outbreak of COVID-19 since March 2020 has worsened the educational situation in Pakistan. The disruption of education services during the COVID-19 pandemic will disproportionately affect disadvantaged and unreached children, including girls and young women. Despite an increasing trend in the enrollment rate in the pre-pandemic time, a large number of children still remained out-of-school, the situation is likely to be worsened. The National Education Management Information Systems (NEMIS) estimates that around 22 million children were out of school in 2016/17, of which there were more than 5 million out-of-school children in primary school ages 5–9 years, more than 11 million in ages 10–14 years, and 6.2 million in age 15–16 years. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, education systems in both Punjab and Sindh provinces faced major challenges, including limited school access and low retention rates. Provincial governments are responsible for providing free and compulsory education to all children aged 5-16 years in their respective provinces. School Education and Literacy Department (SELD) in Sindh and Literacy & Non-Formal Basic Education Department (LNFBED) in Punjab are respectively responsible for non-formal education. In both provinces, lack of school access and high dropout rates, especially at the primary level, are responsible for its large out-of-school population.
