Impact assessment of hydroclimatic change on water stress in the Indus Basin
… output is produced in fields irrigated by the Indus basin irrigation system, the world's largest network of canals, dams, barrages and tubewells. River flows, primarily fed by snow and glacial melt, are highly seasonal and fluctuate between intense floods and droughts. Built storage is …

Stratigraphy and Palaeoenvironment of the Paleocene/Eocene boundary interval in the Indus Basin, Pakistan
… are preserved in the Patala Formation (Upper Indus Basin) and Dungan Formation (Lower Indus Basin), Pakistan. The P/E interval of the Patala Formation is composed of limestone and shale inter-beds indicating deposition on a carbonate platform. The analysis of larger foraminifera across the P/E …

Observed and Predicted Climate Change Impact on Water Resources of the Upper Indus Basin: English
… in river flows. The water resources of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) are highly dependent on the winter westerly disturbances (WWD) and summer monsoon systems. However, the impacts of change in this complex climate system vary spatially and temporally across the UIB, making it difficult to assess …

Sustainability of the Indus Basin: Impact of tertiary salinity/sodicity on wheat productivity, damage assessment and future public policy
The Indus Basin of Pakistan has the largest contiguous canal irrigation system in the world. However, the canal system, as important as it is, has overshadowed the equally important supplementary source of irrigation in the Basin--the groundwater. Today, over 40% of the annual irrigation …

Sedimentology and Biostratigraphy of the Chorgali Formation, Potwar and Hazara Sub-Basins, Upper Indus Basin of Pakistan: Implications for the Closing Stage of the Eastern Neo-Tethys Ocean
… unit that occurs in different sub-basins of the Indus Basin in northern Pakistan, such as Potwar and Hazara sub- basins. The formation is part of a very thick carbonate succession deposited in the eastern Neo- Tethys Ocean shelf. It conformably overlies on early Eocene Sakesar …

Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
… the Godavari River) and the Arabian Sea (off the Indus River). Carbon isotopes of terrestrial plant leaf waxes (δ13Cwax) preserved in sediment provide integrated and regionally extensive records of flora for both sites. For the Godavari River basin the δ13Cwax record shows a gradual increase in …

Aridification of the Indian subcontinent during the Holocene : implications for landscape evolution, sedimentation, carbon cycle, and human civilizations
… the Godavari River) and the Arabian Sea (off the Indus River). Carbon isotopes of terrestrial plant leaf waxes ([delta]¹³Cwax) preserved in sediment provide integrated and regionally extensive records of flora for both sites. For the Godavari River basin the ([delta]¹³Cwax record shows a gradual …

An improved multicriterion analysis approach to avoid subjectivity in irrigation water allocation decisions
… in multiple farmers surveys (n=278) conducted in Indus Basin of Pakistan. In the surveyed regions, the warabandi system was performing poorly. In-built rigidity in water allocations was found as main reason behind its poor performance. The results from the farmers surveys also revealed that the …

A modelling perspective on precipitationin the Indus River Basin: from synopticto Holocene variability
The Indus River civilisation was the first urban society in South Asia. Its demise, ca. 4000 years ago, might have been caused by environmental factors, such as recurrent drought conditions. Yet, palaeoclimate archives present a fragmented picture of the climate at that time. This thesis explores …
