Energy supply and the expansion of groundwater irrigation in the Indus-Ganges Basin
Irrigation using groundwater has expanded rapidly in South Asia since the inception of the Green Revolution in the 1970s. Groundwater currently represents the largest source of irrigation in the Indus-Ganges Basin (IGB), which feeds over one billion people and provides direct livelihoods for hundreds of millions of farmers. Although abundant in absolute terms, groundwater is overexploited in th...
متن کاملGroundwater management for Lower Indus Basin
The present study aims to find out an optimum policy for pumping out the optimized volume of groundwater obtained from the authors' earlier Two Level Optimization Model [N.K. Garg, A. Ali, 1998. Two level optimization model for Lower Indus Basin. Agric. Water Manage. 36, 1±21] for the Dadu Canal Command of the Lower Indus Basin. It is shown that the tubewells in this canal command may be operat...
متن کاملModeling Microtopography in Basin Irrigation
Microtopography has long been regarded as a key variable affecting basin irrigation performance. This paper reports on the extension of a flat bed two-dimensional basin irrigation model to the simulation of irrigation events in basins with microtopography. The model incorporates the local surface slopes in the x and y directions to the governing set of partial differential equations. Three fiel...
متن کاملConflicting Signals of Climatic Change in the Upper Indus Basin
Temperature data for seven instrumental records in the Karakoram and Hindu Kush Mountains of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) have been analyzed for seasonal and annual trends over the period 1961–2000 and compared with neighboring mountain regions and the Indian subcontinent. Strong contrasts are found between the behavior of winter and summer temperatures and between maximum and minimum temperatur...
