1 PAKISTAN DEVELOPMENT FORUM (PDF) 12th14th May, 2003, Islamabad Presentation on PLANNING FOR WATER RESOURCES Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission Government of Pakistan 1

2 PRESENTATION OUTLINE! Background! Poverty in Pakistan! Water Availability in Pakistan! Water Availability vs Population growth! Escapage below Kotri! Seepage losses in irrigation system! Reservoir Sedimentation! Water Sector Issues! SubSectors of Water Resources! Water Resources Development Matrix! Water Storages! Construction of New Canals! Irrigated Areas & Water Projects! Remodelling/Rehabilitation/Lining of Canals & Watercourses! Drainage & Reclamation! Flood Control! Physical Targets 2

3 BACKGROUND! Share of agriculture in GDP is 25%.! Employment in Agriculture is 49%.! Rural Poverty is 39% as compared to urban poverty (23%) and is on increase particularly in drought hit areas.! Increase in irrigated areas is important to alleviate poverty by development and Integrated Management of Water Resources. 3

13 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT Issue Strategy Water Storage Capacity Construction of New Flood Water Canals Remodelling/Rehabilit ation/lining of canals and water courses Midterm Plan (10 Years) M aintain e xisting storage capacity by adding water storage of 5.34 MAF to compensate for storage loss of 5.9 MAF Use 3.03 MAF of Flood water & 2.7 MAF of perennial water. Conserve 6 MAF of water through selected Irrigation System Rehabilitation in Sindh, Punjab and improvement of watercourses. LongTerm Plan (1020 Years) Development of 30 MAF of storages. Maintain the existing & new canal systems. Line all distributaries, minors and watercourses underlain by saline water areas. 13

14 WATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT Issue Strategy Drainage & Reclamation Flood Control Midterm Plan (10 Years) Restore productivity of land by reclam ining 6.6 M.A of disastrous area through National Drainage Programme, RBODI, RBOD II, Groundwater Management, Master Drainage Plan. Reduce colossal losses by onslaught of floods, by constructing 1101 Km embankments, 303 spurs, harness 33 hill torrents and improve flood forecasting & warning system through Flood Management of Murri Bughti Hill Torrents, 2 nd Flood Sector Project, Normal Flood Programme & Fan Management of M ithanwan Hill Torrents. LongTerm Plan (1020 Years) Drainage Accord, based on Master Drainage Plan and sustain the reclaimed area. Continuation of Flood Control Program me based on feed back from th e M idt er m Plan. 14
