Abstract

Pakistan is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world. The situation in Pakistan’s Balochistan province is especially bleak due to extreme depletion of groundwater, which provides 50% of Balochistan’s water for irrigation. In view of the severity of the problem, a four-year research project for improving groundwater management in Pakistan was extended to include Balochistan.
