Message By Dr Ahmed Kamal,
Chairman Federal Flood
Commission for the Proceedings of
7th
IWC
I hope the 7th
International Conference its proceedings would add value to the policy
recommendations and formulation of the strategies on the subject. Water management and
climate change adaptability are critical issues that require urgent attention, particularly
considering the recent floods in Pakistan. Climate change has led to more frequent and intense
weather events such as flooding, which can have devastating consequences for the
communities and infrastructure. Effective water management practices are crucial to mitigate
the impacts of such events and build climate change adaptability.
The 2022 floods impact on Pakistan was devastating and caused widespread human casualties,
damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and homes, as well as severe economic
losses.
There is need for better water management strategies including; effective water management
practices and adequate drainage systems as well as addressing the encroachments in the
floodplains.
A multi-pronged approach that focuses on both mitigation and adaptation is prerequisite. The
mitigation efforts should aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the effects of
climate change and the adaptation measures should focus on building resilience to the impacts
of climate change and improving water management practices. The construction of levees,
dams, and other infrastructure can help to protect communities from flooding and ensure the
efficient distribution of water resources.
It is imperative that policymakers and water stakeholders may work together to develop and
implement comprehensive climate change centric plans for tackling water resource system
and to promote sustainability and resilience.
