7 Hydrology of Thar There are three underground reservoirs present at Thar. To ensure safe mining operations, the groundwater level has to be lowered through continuous dewatering An estimated volume of 30 Mm 3 /a has to be extracted during the lifetime of the Mine This Underground Water is mostly Saline, with Salinity ranges between TDS, however it contains no heavy metals/ industrial constituents 80AMSL 0 AMSL -50 AMSL -115 AMSL Dune Sand Aquifer (50 m) Coal Seam Roof Aquifer (120 m) Coal Seam Floor Aquifer (180 m) 7

Ground Water Projects in Thar Block II SECMC and Thar Foundation realize that water is the most precious resource at Thar To utilize the abundant water present

for the provision of clean drinking water to locals - 3 plants have been set up to-date serving 8000 people per day Biosaline Agriculture pilot projects being carried

8 Ground Water Projects in Thar Block II SECMC and Thar Foundation realize that water is the most precious resource at Thar To utilize the abundant water present underground for the benefit of local populace, Thar Foundation in collaboration with SECMC is working on different projects such as: Setting up Reverse Osmosis Plants for the provision of clean drinking water to locals - 3 plants have been set up to-date serving 8000 people per day Biosaline Agriculture pilot projects being carried out in collaboration with renowned local and foreign universities Establishment of Fish Hatchery for saline tolerant species in collaboration with Fisheries Department - GoS 8

9 Bio Saline Agriculture Projects Xingjian University, China Tripartite Agreement signed between, SECMC, Xingjian University & Tando Jam University for shared research in the field of Bio Saline Agriculture 02 Hector Land allocated to Xinjiang University-China to develop cash crops, cereals, food & medicinal crops. Potential Crops are; Oats Date Palms Water Melons Ginseng Maize Poacease for Bio-Fuel Successful completion of this project will contribute towards capacity building in Development of cash crops / Bio-fuels High Focus High Return Medicinal Plants 9

properties and has energy equivalent to Maize Successful fodder growth on Saline water has been achieved at pilot plot of

10 Bio Saline Agriculture Projects Karachi University Bilateral Agreement signed with Karachi University for research in growth of food and fodder using saline water Fodder specie (Panicum) is a perennial grass with excellent salt excluder properties and has energy equivalent to Maize Successful fodder growth on Saline water has been achieved at pilot plot of 02 acres, testing on local cattle is in progress Growth Cycle is Days in Summer while Days in winter post harvest 10

successfully cultivated and harvested in the area are: Pea Carrot Cotton Sun Flower Corn Total area allocated

11 Bio Saline Agriculture Projects Locals Thar Foundation initiated a pilot project with an aim to grow vegetables & cash crops on saline water using community past knowledge & wisdom of the area Vegetables successfully cultivated and harvested in the area are: Pea Carrot Cotton Sun Flower Corn Total area allocated for the project is 120 Acre Locals are organizing the complete farming process starting from cultivation till harvesting 11

Tilapia Gibelion Catla Project initiated

12 Pilot Fisheries Project Development of Fish Hatchery in the saline water reservoir of Gorano / Green Park based on research (Saline Tolerant species) Gibelion Catla Locally know as Thailli Labeo Rohita Local known as Kurro Cirrhinus Mirgala Locally known as Morakhi Tilapia locally known as Dayya Tilapia Gibelion Catla Project initiated in collaboration with Fisheries Dept. (GoS) & aims at alternate income source through Fish Farming for local community Labeo Rohita Cirrhinus Mirgala 12

13 Way Forward The objective of these pilot projects is to provide locals with sustainable livelihood opportunities while making droughts irrelevant in the region Our Long Term Aim is to Ensure fodder availability across the year & stop cattle migration during dry season Provide access to/ Setup Solar wells to local community to establish biosaline farms Educate local community in farming methods and suitable crops Market Development / Access for local community (Meat & Fodder) As I m seeing it now, it may cause kind of a reverse cycle; previously the people of Tharparkar migrated to other areas due to droughts, but [with such biosaline projects in hand] people from other areas may need to migrate to Tharparkar for economic purposes Prof. Dr. Mujeeb Sehrai Vice Chancellor, Sindh Agricultural Univerity, Tando Jam 13
