Overview

Indus River Basin: Water Security and Sustainability provides a comprehensive treatment of water-related issues within the Indus River basin. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field, hence this book serves as a single, holistic source covering the whole region, not just a single country. Many of the challenges faced by this region are trans-boundary issues, especially within the context of climate change and water scarcity. Topics covered include extreme engineering and water resource management (one of the largest irrigation systems in dry to semi-desert conditions), social sciences (population dynamics linked to water resources) and political sciences.

Chapter by Belfer Center author: "Integrated Irrigation and Agriculture Planning in Punjab: Toward a Multiscale, Multisector Framework." by Ayesha Shahid, Afreen Siddiqi, and James L. Wescoat Jr.
