Pakistan faces increasing water stress and scarcity as its population grows. Its water resources come from rainfall, surface water from rivers and reservoirs, and groundwater. Rainfall alone cannot sustain much agriculture, so Pakistan has developed one of the world's largest irrigation systems including major dams, barrages, and canals. However, aging infrastructure and increasing demand mean Pakistan may face acute shortages by 2025 if actions are not taken to improve efficiency and management of its water resources.
Water conservation is an innovative approach required to be adopted to recharge ground water. This includes check-dams, farm ponds,ponds on terraces of hills etc
WATER SHORTAGE ITS CAUSES, IMPACTS AND REMEDIAL MEASURESIN PAKISTANFarhan Hussain
with two thirds of the earths surface covered by water, it is evidently clear that water is one of the most important elements responsible for life on earth. It is not only vital for sustenance of life but equally essential for the socioeconomic development. The global fresh water shortage and food security issues related to teeming billions of population necessitated the shifting of fresh water from agriculture to other more pressing uses. The country is facing the worst ever crises of water shortage for last many years, as water available for any given use has become increasingly scarce.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.
Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. World Water Resources
Water Stress vs Water Scarcity
Hydrologists typically assess
scarcity by looking at the
population-water equation.
An area is experiencing water
stress when annual water supplies
drop below 1,700 m3 per person.
When annual water supplies drop
below 1,000 m3 per person, the
population faces water scarcity.
< 500 m3 "absolute scarcity".
http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/scarcity.shtml
4. Facts about Water Resources
Around 66% of the world’s population may be water stressed by 2025, and
around 1.8 Billion will be suffering from absolute water scarcity.
Approximately 50% of the global population will be living under high water-stress by 2030.
The largest number of water-stressed countries is in Sub-Saharan Africa, with the most
water stressed region being the Middle East.
Approx. 700 Million people in 43 countries suffer from water scarcity.
The Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources (PCRWR) has warned that the
country may run dry by 2025 if the authorities didn't take an immediate action.
According to a report, the Islamic country touched the "water stress line" in 1990 and crossed
the "water scarcity line" in 2005.
If this situation persists, Pakistan is likely to face acute water shortage or drought-like
situation in the near future.
6. Water Resources of Pakistan
The water supply available to agriculture is derived from three main sources:
Rainfall which occurs directly on the crop areas,
Surface water from rivers or storage reservoirs, and
Usable ground water from the aquifers.
Rainfall is normally inadequate to sustain more than a very low level of agricultural production,
particularly in the semi-arid conditions of Pakistan.
Pakistan ranks 4th in the world as for as irrigated area (About 7%) is concerned. About 36 MA (About
75% of the cultivated area) in Pakistan is irrigated land.
Pakistan has invested heavily in the irrigation sector. Allocated about $ 8 billion in this sector upto the
year 2011-12
Pakistan has one of the largest irrigation systems in the world comprising:
o Three major reservoirs with a design capacity of about 20 Billion Cubic Meters (BCM),
o 23 barrages, headworks and siphons,
o 45 main irrigation canals commanding an area of about 16.6 million hectares.
Irrigation: Life blood of agriculture
7. Water Resources of Pakistan
Rainfall
Annual rainfall (125mm in South-East to 750mm North-West)
Total water generated by rainfall is around 32 BCM
Contribution to crops is 10-20%
Groundwater
Exploitation of Groundwater is 59 BCM
Over 9,00,000 private tubewells
40% of total supply at farm-gate
8. Water Resources of Pakistan
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone for economy of the country where over 93% of the available
water resources are consumed.
Irrigation is used on 80% of all arable land and meets almost 90% of all food and fibers
requirements.
Agriculture is the single larges sector of economy accounting for about a quarter of the country’s
Gross Domestic Products (GDP).
It employs 44% of the labor force, supports 75% of the population and accounts for 60% of
foreign exchange.
9. Water Resources of Pakistan
The increased population, urbanization, industrialization and agricultural activities
however widened the gap between water demand and supply.
The water shortfall that was 11% in 2004, is expected to increase to 31% by 2025.
The per capita water availability which was about 5600 m3/year in 1947 has now
reduced to less than 1000 m3/year converting the country to a water scarce condition.
Due to poor maintenance and old irrigation system, the overall efficiency < 40%.
10. Water Resources of Pakistan
Out of 142 BCM of water available at the canal headworks, only 55 BCM is used by
crops. The remaining 87 BCM (60%) is lost during conveyance through canal
distributaries, minors, watercourses and in fields.
In Pakistan the development of rainfed area is completely ignored. The dry farming is
practiced on about 12 Mha that is 40% of the Culturable land. It just contribute < 10%
to the total production.
The main reasons for the low productivity are:
o Low and erratic rainfall
o Soil erosion
o Poor use of land and water resources due to small and fragmented land holdings, and
o Low agricultural inputs.
