GHULAM HUSSAIN PRESIDENT PAKISTAN ENGINEERING CONGRESS On WORLD WATER DAY, 2016 on Monday, 28th March, 2016 at Pakistan Engineering Congress Lahore Venerable Chief Guest, Engr. Shamsul Mulk Distinguished Delegates Members of Pakistan Engineering Congress, Fellow Engineers, Ladies and Gentlemen! Assalam-o-Alaikum It gives me immense pride to apprise that Pakistan Engineering Congress has a unique distinction of commemorating World Water Day, along with the world since 2005 on the universally laid down themes. Not only this, the papers presented at these events from the Congress Forum have been published and distributed complimentary to all concerned in particular the Federal / Provincial Govt. Departments along with the recommendations formulated by the panel of experts. Ladies and Gentlemen! We are globally witnessing a technological revolution in all spheres of life like Super computers, Robotic manufacturing, Bullet trains shortening long distances, Air-travel network, connecting all corners of the world. Agricultural and Industrial advancement and standards of living where luxuries have become necessities. Emerging economies like China, India and others are challenging the elite economic powers through planned socio-economic development of their national resources, enhanced agricultural / industrial production, expansion of means of communication and transport and accelerated exports of goods and services. In such a challenging scenario, Pakistan cannot allow itself the continued lethargy, ill-planning and criminal negligence in exploitation of its Water Potential i World Water Day March-2016 direly needed for bringing waste land under cultivation and generation of cheap hydel energy, to run its wheels of industry and accelerated industrial advancement to provide a decent living to its people and to ensure food security for its rising population. Ladies and Gentlemen! The present population of the world is about 7-billion and is visualized to touch 9-billion markwith only one planet for existence. Experts have visualized that amongst other amenities of life, it would require 70% increase in food production. Pakistan’s population of 198 million is expected to touch a massive figure of 221 million by 2025. The increase in food production by 50% would be an uphill task. In this connection, the following remarks of a World Bank Report are pertinent; “The Agriculture sector suffers from water shortage, frequent drought and poor farming practices, expose the rural communities to high vulnerability, especially women and children” In order to ensure food security, poverty alleviation and opening up vast channels of employment, we have perforce to embark upon a massive efforts for preservation / conservation of Water Resources and above all optimum utilization of the Water Potential of the Country. Ladies and Gentlemen! The world is conscious of the immense significance of the precious water resources, both surface water and ground water resources. They have constructed numerous dams on each of their rivers, thereby using it for bringing additional lands under cultivation and for generation of cheap hydro power to boost industrial production for internal consumption and exporting goods for earning valuable foreign exchange. Let us see what is the scenario in Pakistan. Ladies & Gentlemen! We were destined to put in place one mega reservoir after every 10 years but unluckily failed to construct even one such dam over the last 40 years due to which we are today facing massive energy deficit and are on the brink of a water starved Country. 30-35 MAF water every year flowed into the sea over the years without any productive use in agricultural, generation of cheap electricity and industrial development, etc. Pakistan has only 30-days storage facility in dams compared to 220-days storage in India & 1000 days in Egypt. According to International Standards 40% of the river flows are required to be stored. Pakistan have only 13.29 MAF storage against 58 MAF, a dismal position. ii World Water Day March-2016 We have not spared even the ground water resources 1-million tube wells are extracting water, without any regulatory frame-work, and without adequate re- charge system which is resulting in steep fall in water tables. Hill torrents produce 18 MAF water out of which 13 MAF can be used for bringing waste land under cultivation but no progress has been made resulting in flash floods and destructions during in last 6-7 decades. Ladies & Gentleman! RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAY FORWARD The Framework In the wake of the water crisis looming large, urgent need for sustainable development and management of water resources in Pakistan cannot be over- emphasized. Towards this end the principles and guidelines of sustainable development have to be adopted. These include conservation of available water resources, infrastructure optimization, institutional restructuring, better governance, caring for the poor and unprivileged sections of the society, public participation and stewardship to enable the future generations to meet their needs. Surface Water Management As a result of population growth, the surface water availability which was more than 5000 cubic meters per capita in 1950, has now (2016) reduced to about 1000 m3 per person. Pakistan is at the threshold of being water scarce country. Pakistan is mining about 50 MAF of ground water to meet the domestic agriculture demand. The current rate of ground water extraction is more than what is being recharged resulting in diminishing aquifer. If not regulated this would not be sustainable. Pakistan has the largest and the oldest contiguous irrigation system. After diversion of water at various barrages, 30 MAF of water, on the average, goes down the last barrage into the Arabian Sea every year. Climate and freshwater systems are inter-connected in complex ways. Any change in one of these systems induces a change in the other. It is projected that there will be rise in temperature to the tune of 4 degrees Celsius by the end of current century in the Indus Plains. The impact of climate change on the snow and ice regimes of the Upper Indus Basin which provide more than 70% of the river runoff, also adds uncertainty to Pakistan water system. Water use, in particular irrigation water use, generally increases with temperature. If this be the case, then in Pakistan where water use is dominated by irrigation and accounts for more than 90% of total consumptive water use, we have to take pre-emptive measures to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on water resources.

  • Negotiating the Indus Waters Treaty: an Historical Assessment
    Journal of the Research Society of Pakistan Volume No. 57, Issue No. 1 (January – June, 2020) Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti* Farzad Ahmad ** Asia Saif Alvi *** Muhammad Kashif Ali **** Nabila Akhtar ***** Negotiating the Indus Waters Treaty: An Historical Assessment Abstract International watercourses are the only supplementary sources of water for the many states having arid or semi-arid climatic conditions that could economically be developed to bridge the rapidly increasing gap between demand and supply. In absence of any international law to deal with uses of international watercourses other than navigational purposes, agreements among co-riparian states are very important for the development of an entire basin. Although the U. N. Convention on the Uses of International Rivers for non-navigational purposes was adopted by the U. N. General Assembly in 1997 and after the rectification of 35 Member States, it has been functioning since 2014, but the importance of the negotiation processes that resulted in numerous successful agreements on water resource management can never be denied. This document provides an historical analysis of the negotiating process which culminated into the Indus Waters Treaty. Keywords: Partition of India, Pakistan, India, Water dispute, Negotiations, Indus waters Treaty Introduction In arid and semi-arid climatic regions, water is considered one of the most important factors of development. The availability of sufficient water in those areas in terms of quantity and quality, suitable for all purposes, has already become a serious issue. All tendencies show that difficulties emerging due to this critical issue would increase significantly in coming years. Starting in the 1990s and beyond, the management and development of international watercourses would become an increasingly critical problem.

CTI ENGINEERING INTERNATIONAL OYO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION The following foreign exchange rate is applied in the study: US$ 1.00 = PKR 88.4 PREFACE The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) is a milestone in the history of the Disaster Management System (DRM) in Pakistan. The rapid change in global climate has given rise to many disasters that pose a severe threat to the human life, property and infrastructure. Disasters like floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, droughts, sediment disasters, avalanches, GLOFs, and cyclones with storm surges are some prominent manifestations of climate change phenomenon. Pakistan, which is ranked in the top ten countries that are the most vulnerable to climate change effects, started planning to safeguard and secure the life, land and property of its people in particular the poor, the vulnerable and the marginalized. However, recurring disasters since 2005 have provided the required stimuli for accelerating the efforts towards capacity building of the responsible agencies, which include federal, provincial, district governments, community organizations, NGOs and individuals. Prior to 2005, the West Pakistan National Calamities Act of 1958 was the available legal remedy that regulated the maintenance and restoration of order in areas affected by calamities and relief against such calamities.
