People want more regular plentiful
water - without - borders now and
don’t want to wait for
conservation, stewardship or
shared responsibility.

Major Global Water Perspectives

Controlling & managing water in thecontext of demand for energy & food
Balancing the equation between water-for-food, water-for-energy and water forother uses
More energy requirement for exploitinggroundwater, as surface water is affectedby pollution and effluents

Key Lessons of the Indus Water Treaty
Physical and political boundaries and political stance can create international water conflicts
Power inequalities may delay the process of negotiations
Positive, active and continuous involvement of a third party is vital in helping to overcome conflict
![Page 11: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Key Lessons of the Indus Water Treaty
Coming to a table with financial assistance can provide sufficient incentive for a breakthrough in agreement
Sensitivity to each party’s particular hydrologic concerns is crucial in determining the basis of negotiations for a successful resolution
In particularly difficult politicized conflict situation, a sub-optimal solution may be the best option

‘Transboundary’ Water Management within Pakistan
Trans-boundary
Nature
River crosses 4 provinces. Dispute mainly
relevant to 2 provinces
Political
Situation
Four semi-autonomous provinces (and some areas
administered by federal government), with federal
government having primary responsibility for water
resources management (surface water)
Management
Responsibilities
After several failed attempts, provinces finally
referred power to the federal government to
intervene in provincial river sharing matters. Indus
River System Authority (IRSA), Ministry of Water
and Power and Water and Power Development
Authority (WAPDA) operate on the federal level to
manage water resources in Pakistan

• Varies from year to year and is normally less than 114.35 MAF

Criteria/Method used to Determine Shares for the
Different Parties
The Indus Waters Accord of 1991 established the following:
Defined entitlements of
different provinces to a share of
available water
Set a minimum flow requirement of
water into the sea
Ensured that all provinces gained from surpluses or
loss from shortages in supply
![Page 20: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Key Lessons of the Indus Water Accord
Water sharing between provinces can become highly politicized and intractable, where real concerns of stakeholders are not addressed
Focus needs to shift from supply- oriented to demand- oriented ways of overcoming water distribution problem
Downstream riparian rights have to be implemented
Comprehensive water law is essential
![Page 21: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
The politics of water in Pakistan is still built
around access to river water for traditional
methods of irrigation, that does not disturb
the status quo of feudal land relations
![Page 22: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Groundwater – the Forgotten Part of the Equation
• The Indus basin also has fresh groundwater reserves of about 55 MAF
• Groundwater now accounts for half of all on farm irrigation requirements (supplementing the 34 MAF of surface water that actually gets to the farm lands )
• Conjunctive use of surface and ground water has been hailed as a giant step forward
• Presently more than 500,000 tube wells in the Indus basin area
![Page 23: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Water Balance
All sources of water must be considered when allocating water for defined regions and ‘trans-water’ situations
Those areas that have groundwater, snowfall and rainfall should have reduced share from surface water
Surface water and ground water must be licensed and valued for productive use
![Page 24: LEAD PakistanDam l C. 17 Province-wise Irrigated Area Sindh 14% NWFP 5% Punjab 77% Balochistan 4% Source: Kamal S, Presentation on ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060308/5f0a04b37e708231d4299e19/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Water Policy Framework
• National Water Policy (latest draft 2017)
• ‘Citizens’ Water Policy (Hisaar Foundation 2016)
• The Pakistan Water Resources Strategy (Ministry of Water and Power, 2002)
• Ten Year Perspective Plan (Planning Commission, 2001)
• Vision 2025 (Water and Power Development Authority, 2001)

Strengthening National Security through Trans-
boundary Cooperation on Shared Water
Resources
Concentrated effort to shift the paradigm of thinking about trans-boundary water resources management from competing for scarce resources to one of cooperation and benefit sharing
Working on Indus Basin Treaty with India
Exploring the potential of developing a treaty with Afghanistan to share the Kabul River
Exploring cooperation with China on Indus

Government needs to get serious,
provide clear leadership and put up a
well-resourced permanent water
commission (that could be an
empowered existing water institution or
a new one) led by people of integrity
and knowledge that can deliver the
intent of rational use of water in
Pakistan.
