Flood constitutes one of the world’s most serious environmental hazards associated with global climate change, as witnessed by the Pakistan during past 6-7 years. Under future climate change scenarios, country is likely to experience increased variability of river flows due to increased variability of precipitation and melting of glaciers. Demand for irrigation water may increase due to higher rates of evaporation. Urban storm drainage networks may also be stressed by torrential rainfall and flash floods during monsoon season. Sea level rise and storm surges may adversely affect coastal infrastructure and livelihoods in coming years. Concerted efforts like improved weather and flood forecasting including warning systems, retrofitting of critical infrastructure and construction of new flood protection embankments/shore protection works, construction of additional flood water storages, development or use of crop varieties with greater heat and drought tolerance, modernizing irrigation techniques, employing water-saving technologies and integrated watershed management are required to mitigate the threats due to global climate change. The National Climate Change Policy of 2012 is Pakistan’s guiding document on climate change, setting out the goal of achieving climate-resilient development for the country through mainstreaming climate change in the economically and socially vulnerable sectors of the country. As described in its Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Pakistan intends to reduce up to 20% of its 2030 projected greenhouse gas emissions, subject to availability of international grants to meet the cumulative abatement costing around US $ 40 billion. The country’s adaptation needs have been identified to range between US $7 billion to US $14 billion per year. Pakistan has consecutively faced series of flood events during the past 6-7 years i.e. since 2010, which indicates that flood has now become a regular feature in the country. This is exacerbated by the inadequate surface water storage capacity for absorbing flood peaks, chronic and increasing threat of encroachments in flood plains, inadequate discharge capacity of some of Barrages/Bridges, inadequate budget allocation under PSDP and Provincial ADP for execution of flood projects, weakness in flood defenses due to improper maintenance of existing flood protection structures and importantly a distorted natural drainage network. Pakistan has suffered a cumulative financial loss of more than US$ 38 Billion during the past 70 years. Around 12,502 people lost their lives, some 197,273 villages damaged/ destroyed and an area more than 616,598 Sq.km was affected due to 25 major flood events. The 2010 floods were worst flooding in the past about 80 years in the region (Table-2). Prior to 1977, the Provincial Governments were responsible for planning and execution of flood protection works. Disastrous floods of 1973 & 1976 caused heavy loss to life and property. Heavy losses to the economy due to those floods were discussed in the Inter- Provincial Conference held in January 1977. It was felt that the existing flood protection facilities and planning were inadequate to provide effective protective measures for the country; hence, it was decided to establish Federal Flood Commission (FFC) for integrated flood management on country wide-basis. Federal Flood Commission, Ministry of Water Resources Page 5 Annual Flood Report-2017 Since its establishment, FFC has prepared three National Flood Protection Plans, i.e. National Flood Protection Plan-I (1978-88), National Flood Protection Plan-II (1988- 1998) & National Flood Protection Plan-III (1998-2008), which were executed through Provincial Irrigation Departments and Federal Line Agencies. Besides this, two mega Flood Damages Restoration Projects (1988-FDRP & 1992 &1994-FDRP) had also been undertaken by FFC. A total investment of more than Rs 30.00 billion has been made on construction/ rehabilitation of around 5,483 flood protection structures including up- gradation of country’s existing Flood Forecasting & Warning System through PSDP/Foreign Aided Programme during the past 39 years (Table-4). Work on preparation of National Flood Protection Plan-IV was started in year 2006-07, but it could not be approved for implementation at that time due to low priority given to Flood Sector as result of drought like conditions over the country. Due to large scale damages as a result of 2010 floods, followed by subsequent flood events during 2011 & 2012, the need for investment in flood sector gained importance. Hence, Federal Flood Commission re-started working on formulation of National Flood Protection Plan-IV. For that purpose, consultants were engaged in May 2013 through World Bank Funded Water Sector Capacity Building & Advisory Services Project (WCAP). The National Flood Protection Plan-IV (Ten-year Plan) had been prepared in close consultation with all stakeholders at Federal and Provincial Governments level keeping in view the lessons learnt from past flood events.

  • INTRODUCTION the Total Coast Line of Pakistan Is About 1120 Km The
    INTRODUCTION The total coast line of Pakistan is about 1120 Km the western region (Makran coast) extends from Hub river to Iranian border. Makran coast is about 772 Km long. The South Eastern Region (Sindh coast) extends from Hub River to Sir Creek on the Indian border and is about 348 Km long. The continental shelf of Makran coast lies between 16 to 24 Km and falls sharply to great depths. Whereas, in Sindh coast the continental shelf is shallow and is about 125 Km. According to constitution of Pakistan, the marine waters are divided into the administrative areas: (i) Territorial waters (from base line upto 12 nautical miles, seaward). These waters have jurisdiction of the maritime provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. (ii) The waters between 12 nautical miles and 200 nautical miles: the Federal Government has jurisdiction on this area. Pakistan has rich marine resources in its coastal areas. Since ages, fishing has been the main livelihood of the coastal fishermen. Although, rapid changes have taken place in the world fisheries by introducing modern sophisticated fishing vessels and gear. However, the marine fisheries of Pakistan is still in primitive stage. The local small scales wooden fishing boats are not capable to harvest deep water resources. As such, deep water area remained un-exploited. Therefore, in the past a limited licenses were given to the local parties allowing them to undertake joint venture with foreign parties to harvest tuna & tuna like species in EEZ of Pakistan beyond 35 nautical miles. The operation of these vessels was subject to fulfillment of provision of Deep Sea Fishing Policy including strict surveillance and monitoring by Marine Fisheries Department (MFD), Maritime Security Agency (MSA), port inspections, installation of vessel-based unit of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), MFD representative / observer on each vessel during each trip, restriction on discard of fish at sea, having penalties on violation of regulations etc.

  • 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.

  • Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, Northern Pakistan
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael D. Hylland for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on May 3. 1990 Title: Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills. Northern Pakistan Abstract approved: RobeS. Yeats The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable Proterozoic age, consisting of a thick basal argillaceous sequence (Manki Formation) overlain by algal limestone and shale (Shahkot, Utch Khattak, and Shekhai formations). These strata are intruded by diabase dikes and sills that may correlate with the Panjal Volcanics. Southern Gandghar Range strata occur in two structural blocks juxtaposed along the Baghdarra fault. The hanging wall consists entirely of isoclinally-folded Manki Formation, whereas the footwall consists of the complete Manki-Shekhai succession which has been deformed into tight, northeast-plunging, generally southeast (foreland) verging disharmonic folds. Phyllite near the Baghdarra fault displays kink bands, a poorly-developed S-C fabric, and asymmetric deformation of foliation around garnet porphyroblasts. These features are consistent with conditions of dextral shear, indicating reverse-slip displacement along the fault. South of the Gandghar Range, the Panjal fault brings the Gandghar Range succession over the Kherimar Hills succession, which is composed of a basal Precambrian arenaceous sequence (Hazara Formation) unconformably overlain by Jurassic limestone (Samana Suk Formation) which in turn is unconformably overlain by Paleogene marine strata (Lockhart Limestone and Patala Formation).
