Spate Irrigation Potential and Distribution of Watersheds of Rod-Kohi Ares of Pakistan using Geoinformatics
Abstract
There is insufficient knowledge and data available for developing better water management strategies for rod-kohi areas at various levels in the country. Such gap in knowledge and baseline data is very crucial for sustainable development of Rod-kohi agriculture. The future planning and development of rod-kohi areas depend on reliable assessment of resources and availability of information. The assessment of water resource is important in context of increase in its demand and changing climate conditions in this part of the country. There is a need to investigate resource potential of Rod-kohi region in order to enhance and sustain agricultural productivity and economic growth in these areas. The present work is focused on assessing spate irrigation potential of Rod-kohi region of the country through application of GIS and Remote sensing techniques. It is important for developing better water management strategies for productivity enhancement of rod-kohi agriculture in the country.
