Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Fluctuation, Root Zone Salinity And Water Productivity of Sugarcane: A Case Study In Lower Chenab Canal System of Pakistan
Impact of climate in Pakistan is certain and its impact assessment is essential for the evaluation of irrigation system. In this study, impact of climate change on groundwater, root zone salinity and eventually on water ...
A geo-informatics approach for estimating water resources management components and their interrelationships
A remote sensing based geo-informatics approach was developed to estimate water resources management (WRM) components across a large irrigation scheme in the Indus Basin of Pakistan. The approach provides a generalized ...
Nitrogen Management in Calcareous Soils: Problems and Solutions
Nitrogen (N) is the most widely applied plant nutrient and is a key constituent of animal manures. Improvement in crop
yields and high economic returns have been made possible through supplementation of crops with organic ...
Changing the perception of smallholder farmers about cactus pear in Pakistan
The increasing demands on water and feed resources across the world’s dry areas require alternative sources of animal feed – specifically crops with better water-use efficiency. One alternative with the potential for ...
A SWAT modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on consumptive water use in Lower Chenab Canal area of Indus basin
Accurate assessment of spatio-temporal variations of consumptive water use (CWU) in large
irrigation schemes is crucial for several hydrological applications. This study is designed to evaluate
the impact of climate change ...
Quantification of the Land Potential for Scaling Agroforestry in South Asia
Trees are an integral part of the sustainable farming practices that can withstand extreme weather events, pest risks, and optimize land and water productivity to achieve food, fuel, fodder and nutritional security while ...
Impact of rangeland enclosure and seasonal grazing on protected and unprotected rangelands in Chakwal region, Pakistan
Scrub rangelands support livestock grazing and provide ecosystem services to their inhabitants. The present study was conducted in Chakwal, an important tract of the Pothwar Plateau, which sustains herds of small domestic ...
Analysis of long term meteorological trends in the middle and lower Indus Basin of Pakistan—A non-parametric statistical approach
The Indus basin of Pakistan is vulnerable to climate change which would directly affect the livelihoods of poor people engaged in irrigated agriculture. The situation could be worse in middle and lower part of this basin ...
