The country has good soils, abundant sunshine and excellent farmers. There is a lack of coordination in management of water reservoirs, both surface and underground. It is being misused by poor distribution system and over pumping and over irrigation. There are no new reservoirs being built… The country has to rely on surface-water and ground-water resources. The main source is Indus River and its tributaries having origin in mountains. The sources of water supply to these rivers are glacial melt, snowmelt, seepage from geological formations and the run-off generated by seasonal rains in the watershed areas. These water sources also recharge the groundwater. The Indus Basin is formed by alluvial deposits. Out of 15 million acres surface of water aquifer about 79 per cent area is in Punjab and 28 per cent in Sindh is underlain by fresh water. This is used as supplemental irrigation water and pumped through tube-wells.Related: Lower Ark Valley continues quest for ‘Super Ditch’.
