IRRIGATION NETWORK OF PAKISTAN

THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM OF PAKISTAN IS THE LARGEST
INTEGRATED IRRIGATION NETWORK IN THE WORLD, SERVING 36
MILLION ACRES OF CONTIGUOUS CULTIVATED LAND. THE SYSTEM
IS FED BY THE WATERS OF THE INDUS RIVER AND ITS
TRIBUTARIES.

NATIONAL WATER VISION

BY 2025, PAKISTAN SHOULD HAVE ADEQUATE WATER AVAILABLE
THROUGH
CONSERVATION,
DEVELOPMENT
AND
GOOD
GOVERNANCE. WATER SUPPLIES SHOULD BE OF GOOD QUALITY,
EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED AND MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL USERS
THROUGH AN EFFICIENT AND INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT,
INSTITUTIONAL AND LEGAL SYSTEM THAT WOULD ENSURE
SUSTAINABLE UTILIZATION OF THE WATER RESOURCES AND
SUPPORT ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT WITH DUE
CONSIDERATION TO THE ENVIRONMENT, QUALITY OF LIFE,
ECONOMIC VALUE OF RESOURCES, ABILITY TO PAY AND
PARTICIPATION OF ALL STAKEHOLDERS.

NATIONAL WATER POLICY

A NATIONAL WATER POLICY HAS RECENTLY BEEN PREPARED AND IS
BEING PROCESSED FOR APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT.
OBJECTIVES OF THE POLICY ARE:
ACCESS TO POTABLE WATER SUPPLY FOR ALL
ADEQUATE QUANTITY OF WATER FOR FINANCIALLY SUSTAINABLE

IRRIGATED
AGRICULTURE
TO
MEET
FOOD
AND
FIBRE
REQUIREMENTS
WATER FOR INDUSTRY TO SUPPORT HIGH ECONOMIC

DEVELOPMENT
BALANCED AND EQUITABLE USE OF WATER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF

ALL USERS
IMPROVED ENVIRONMENT THROUGH BETTER WATER QUALITY
REDUCTION IN DRAINAGE EFFLUENT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE AND ITS

SAFE DISPOSAL TO SEA
18
WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY

A NATIONAL WATER RESOURCES STRATEGY HAS BEEN PREPARED
WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER APPROVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT.
ELEMENTS OF STRATEGY ARE:
TO PROVIDE UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE WATER SECTOR STRATEGY

UPTO YEAR 2025 FOR GUIDANCE ON INVESTMENT PLANNING AND
MANAGEMENT OF WATER SECTOR. ALSO EVOLVE MEDIUM TERM
INVESTMENT PLAN UPTO YEAR 2011
TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC INVESTMENT PROPOSALS RESPONSIVE TO THE

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
MASSIVE INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS IN THE WATER SECTOR ARE
BEING UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE GOOD GOVERNANCE, EFFICIENT
MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE EXISTING
IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE INFRASTRUCTURE. TO MEET THIS
OBJECTIVE, FOLLOWING MEGA PROJECTS ARE UNDER EXECUTION.
NATIONAL DRAINAGE PROGRAMME
RIGHT BANK OUTFALL DRAIN
