  • 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.

  • Complaint Filed Against Different Companies of The
    April 29, 2003 VIA FACSIMILE and U.S. MAIL Mr. Wesley Scholz Director, Office of Investment Affairs and National Contact Point for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises Department of State 2201 C Street NW Washington, DC 20520 Dear Mr. Scholz: Friends of the Earth-United States is raising a specific instance against Unocal Corporation, ConocoPhillips, and Amerada Hess Corporation (the “U.S. Companies”) for breaching the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (the “Guidelines”) with respect to the Baku-T’bilisi- Ceyhan oil pipeline1 (the “BTC”). The specific areas of concern we raise here relate to the BTC Consortium, of which the U.S. Companies are a part. It is held that the Consortium: y exerted undue influence on the regulatory framework; y sought or accepted exemptions related to social, labor, tax and environmental laws; y failed to operate in a manner contributing to the wider goals of sustainable development; y failed to adequately consult with project-affected communities on pertinent matters; and y undermined the host governments’ ability to mitigate serious threats to the environment, human health and safety. Applicability of the Guidelines to the U.S. Companies As a signatory to the Guidelines, the U.S. government has committed itself to encouraging multinational companies operating on its territory to observe the Guidelines wherever they operate. The U.S. companies’ operations in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey are therefore subject to the Guidelines by virtue of the fact that each enterprise is incorporated and headquartered in the United States and has its primary securities’ listing on the New York Stock Exchange.

The world economic tycoon such as USA, China, Japan, almost all the European countries and many others are at the verge of collapse. Besides Stock Markets around the world pounded as well as oil prices have also been fallen. The same situation is being faced by Pakistan including port city Karachi. Resultantly, the revenue collection of KMC has been hampered dreadfully due to spread of COVID-19 as well as lockdown. Therefore the exchequer of metropolis is shrinking to meager balance in the KMC’s accounts. During the current financial 2019-2020, no any improvement whatsoever is made in the financial health of KMC. Similarly the Government of Sindh has continued the same fiscal policy as adopted after 2016 resultantly all functions of KMC are hindered due to short releases on account of OZT Share and Grant-in Aid. The budget documents of any organization portray the picture of its fiscal policy as well as its historical, accounting, financial and planning.
