Indus Basin Irrigation System of Pakistan

U.E.Tl Irrigation  Engineering

Indus Basin Irrigation System 1.History: The Indus Valley has been the host to one of the most ancient civilization of human history, the Indus Valley Civilization. After the extinction of the Indus Civilization, new settlements especially in doabs grew slow sl owly. ly. New irrigation sys tems tems start s tarted ed to evolve. Inundati Inundati on canals and small dams were constructed and population grew all around this area. In order to reduce the occurrence of low irrigation water supply the British authorities, towards the middle of the last century, started modernizing and expanding the irrigation system of the Indus Basin. The Almighty Allah has gifted Pakistan with abundant water resources with water flowing down the Himalayas Himalaya s and Karrakurram heig heights hts from the the world's largest l argest glaciers glacie rs , a free and unique unique bounty of nature for this land of alluvial plains. As a result of this natural resource, today we have the worlds marvelous and the largest contiguous irrigation system that currently irrigates over 16 million hectares of land, out of 34 million hectares of cultivable lands available. This land lies within the plains formed by river Indus and its tributaries. Britishers started the barrage irrigation system during 1930s. However, before that the residents of Punjab, Sindh, and Frontier had constructed a number of inundation canals to irrigate their lands. In the Punjab, 38 such canals had been taken out of Sutlej, Indus, and Chenab rivers to irrigate areas around Bari Doab Multan, Muzaffargarh, and Dera Ghazi Khan. In Sindh, water level of the Indus during summer had always been higher than the surrounding lands, thus, 16 inundation canals in this area had conveniently carried out the irrigation water during past century. However, However, Britis h Army Engineers Engineers undertook undertook construction and improvement of several irrigation canals in the sub- continent. Subsequently, remodeling/construction work on Bari Doab Canal; Sidhnai Canal, Lower Sohag, Ramnagar Canal, Lower Jhelum Canal, Kabul Canal, and Lower Sawat were completed by the end of l9th century. However, at the time of independence country had 29 canals to provide regulated supply to an area of about 11 million hectares, beside an area of about 3.2 million hectares irrigated through inundation canals leading from Indus and its tributaries. These main inundation canals included Upper Sutlej, Lower Sutlej, Shahpur, and Chenab in Punjab; whereas, Rohri, Fuleli, Pinyari, and Kalri in Sindh. However, after the the construction of barrages these canals canals are no mor more e inundation i nundation canals canal s but get regulated regulated water supply and some of them have become perennial while few are nonperennial.

2.Water Ability of the IBIS There are three main sources of water availability in the Indus Basin: 2.A .Surface Water. The average annual flow of Western Rivers of Indus Basin is approximately 142 million acre feet (MAF). About 105 MAF of this water is diverted for irrigation purposes and about 32 million acre feet outflows to the Arabian Sea.

2. B. Rain Water: Another source of water is the rain fall. Irrigated areas of Indus Basin receive on average 40 million acres feet of water annually. annually. 2.C. Ground Water: The third source of water is the ground water. It provides approximately 40 percent of crop water requirements of the country.
