Final Report: Software Project Management
Project Scope:
We are developing a project on distribution of water in Sindh. The objective of the Project is to improve irrigation water management at tertiary and maintain field levels in Sindh. The project will effectively manage the supply of water in province of Sindh located in Pakistan. This project will contain a timely based distribution of water for farmers after taking some inputs from farmers. Most of the time water is wasted during its supply and it does not reach to the original destination. Medium-size farmers will be engaged in equivalent supply of water this will help in improvement of irrigation and land improvement.
We will be registering farmers in our database to take their request for the quantity of water with the measured area of their land and their request about the quantity of water. We will develop an application/software that will communicate with farmers via SMS service in their respective language so that they can communicate comfortably. We will make a web portal to manage their requests and complaints but usually farmers are not literate that’s why we are providing SMS service for them. After keeping the data of farmers we will timely supply water to farmers and we will better analyze usage quantity of water in different seasons. The project will benefit a large population through saving extra supply of water. The project is expected to make a significant contribution to poverty reduction in Sindh Province. By using effective methods of supplying water in fields we will promote crop diversification and increased productivity.

Water Supply System in SINDH
a. Project Scope
We are developing a project on distribution of water in Sindh. The objective of the Project is to
improve irrigation water management at tertiary and maintain field levels in Sindh. The project
will effectively manage the supply of water in province of Sindh located in Pakistan. This project
will contain a timely based distribution of water for farmers after taking some inputs from
farmers. Most of the time water is wasted during its supply and it does not reach to the original
destination. Medium-size farmers will be engaged in equivalent supply of water this will help in
improvement of irrigation and land improvement.
We will be registering farmers in our database to take their request for the quantity of water
with the measured area of their land and their request about the quantity of water. We will
develop an application/software that will communicate with farmers via SMS service in their
respective language so that they can communicate comfortably. We will make a web portal to
manage their requests and complaints but usually farmers are not literate that’s why we are
providing SMS service for them. After keeping the data of farmers we will timely supply water
to farmers and we will better analyze usage quantity of water in different seasons. The project
will benefit a large population through saving extra supply of water. The project is expected to
make a significant contribution to poverty reduction in Sindh Province. By using effective
methods of supplying water in fields we will promote crop diversification and increased
productivity.
Project Feasibility Study
a. Current Situation
Agriculture is a big source of economic growth. It accounts for approximately 22 percent
of the country’s GDP, 65 percent of its employment, and over 70 percent of export
earnings. It absorbs about PKR2trillion of investment annually, contributes substantially
to the country’s industrial base, and produces 90 percent of Pakistan’s food and fiber
requirements. Most of the poor live in rural areas and are mainly employed in
agriculture as wage workers.
Pakistan’s economy faces a number of short and medium term challenges such as
persisting energy sector crisis, low private sector investment, weak external position,
4. 4 | P a g e
unsustainable fiscal imbalances, and high inflationary pressures leading to low GDP
growth of about three percent per annum over the last five years. This level of growth is
inadequate to reduce poverty and improve the social indicators in the country. Current
GDP growth rates are well below output potential and are half their level of five decades
ago. Regaining macroeconomic stability and creating a proper business environment
requires major structural reforms, especially in tax policy and administration, the energy
sector, efficient management of public expenditure, strengthening of the financial
sector, creating equal employment opportunities in a competitive market environment,
and enabling measures and policies for enhanced business environment and private
sector participation and investment.
b. Agriculture Sector
Sindh is the second most populated province of Pakistan. The province covers an area of
140,900 square kilometers and has a population of about 43 million, including 16 million
in metropolitan Karachi. Over 60 percent of the population lives in rural areas, and their
main source of livelihood is agriculture. The agriculture sector is an important driver of
economic growth and source of employment for the poor in Sindh. It provides
employment to about 70 percent of the province’s population and accounts for a
significant portion of GDP.
Sindh has over 5.8 million hectares of irrigated land, and over 800,000 farms. Major
crops include cotton, rice, sugarcane, and wheat. Sindh is also a major horticulture
producing area. The average farm size is small, and over 93 percent have less than seven
ha corresponding 2 to 64 percent of total farm area. Agriculture productivity in Sindh is
low. Average yields are generally about 50-70 percent of the yields in other countries
with similar agro-climatic and water conditions, such as Turkey, Egypt and in case of
cotton, Uzbekistan. Poverty is pervasive and deep in rural Sindh. About 37 percent of
the rural population lives below the poverty line, compared to 33 percent in Pakistan as
a whole. Over 70 percent of the rural population is landless. The poor derive 56 percent
of their income from agriculture. Women comprise 50 percent of Sindh’s agriculture
labor force, in some districts their participation reaches more than 70 percent, and
contribute considerably to agricultural practices with their skills, knowledge and time.
There are however structural gender inequalities in Sindh in which society and tradition
can be powerful forces in differentiating access to resources and services and
marginalizing women and girls, particularly in poor and rural areas and in time of natural
disasters and insecurity.
Development of agriculture is closely linked with the introduction of large‐scale
irrigation infrastructure in Pakistan in the 1960s which had a significant impact on the
5. 5 | P a g e
human and physical environment of the Indus River Basin. The progressive development
of irrigated agriculture allowed the country to support its growing population because
of the impressive achievements in turning dry lands into intensively cultivated and
settled areas. Water remains an important resource for sustaining economic
development in the country. In a context of urbanization, climate change, and a growing
population, competition for water between hydropower, industry, domestic use, the
environment and other uses is intensifying. While the need for more efficient water use
applies to all sectors of the economy, it applies to agriculture in particular because the
sector consumes 95 percent of the country’s water resources.
c. Current Water Resources
Pakistan relies on the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) for provision of water to all
sectors, including the irrigation sub-sector. IBIS consists of the Indus River and its
tributaries, three major multi-purpose storage reservoirs, 19 barrages, 12 inter-river link
canals, 45 major irrigation canals (covering over 14 million hectares), about 148,000
water courses, and over one million tube wells delivering water to farms and for other
productive uses. The annual Indus River volume is 177 billion cubic meters (BCM), of
which about 128 BCM is diverted annually from the river systemto canals. The total
length of the canals is about 60,000 km, with an additional 1.8 million km of communal
water courses and farm channels.
An estimated 80 percent of the flow of the Indus River is generated during monsoons
from June to August. Pakistan’s reliance on a single river basin systemmakes its water
economy vulnerable in light of climate change. The impacts of global climate change,
including changes in glacial melt, temperature, and precipitation patterns leads to
variations (often negative) of river flows. Therefore, the increase of instances of floods
and droughts on the IBIS needs to be carefully considered. Analyses project that all
rainfall/snow-fed rivers will have a significantly reduced discharge in the long-run.
Glacier-fed rivers will increase their discharges by 10-15 percent through 2050 but
thereafter also significantly reduce their discharges.
d. Feasibility Analysis
After collecting the information of current water resources farmers land will be divided
area wise and that will be registered in our database with the name of respective crops
in different seasons. As most of the poor people live in rural areas and they are being
survived only due to irrigation, now we can facilitate them by giving quick and
6. 6 | P a g e
responsive system. We will make a network of pipes distributing water from reservoirs
to canals and fields that would be area and crop wise.
WHY SINDH IS FACING IRRIGATION PROBLEMS?
Owing to the country’s semi‐arid climate, with an average annual rainfall of 240 mm in most
parts of the country and high evaporation rates, 90 percent of its agriculture is irrigated. Main
issues include:
(i) Low surface water delivery efficiency;
(ii) Water distribution inequities;
(iii) Lack of storage capacity and control structures;
(iv) Wasteful on-farm water use;
(v) Inadequate drainage infrastructure leading to water logging, salinity, and environmental 3
degradation;
(vi) Poor operation and maintenance and low cost recovery
(vii) A restrictive investment climate.
As a result of water resources mismanagement, an estimated 40 to 50 percent of the water
that is delivered through community water course networks is lost and irrigated agriculture in
Sindh province is facing water shortage, particularly of surface water which is especially
important in Sindh because most of its lands are underlain by saline groundwater, unfit for
irrigation.

Quality Management
Introduction
This section of the project management plan defines the methodology of quality management /
process and structure to be used during the project.
Methodology
Plan and manage the quality of processes and results of the projects through the
“Planning – Do Job - Checking –Act Upon “cycle for the execution of our project.
23. 23 | P a g e
PLANNING - Quality Planning:
During this process, the quality objectives / expectations / requirements and standards
applicable client / regulations will be identified in qualitative and quantitative terms.
Gap analysis to balance customer expectations with quality regulations project costs,
timelines / schedules and industry will take place. Given the risks of the project, an
effective plan and quality control processes assurance and quality it would be developed
to achieve the project objectives. The thresholds of all results measures would define
and developed in consensus with the client to ensure a common understanding and
agreement on achieving quality objectives.
DO JOB – (Quality Control):
During this process, activities described and planned during plan process will be carried out.
Necessary changes in plan may be made based on change in project/product requirements,
industry/government regulations and environmental context.

CHECKING – (Quality Assurance):
During process independent technical oversight will review along with and verification
management activities are carried out to ensure that the quality objectives are
consistently met. Based on record Quality measures adequacy of quality management /
processes are verified and findings will be shared with all stakeholders to facilitate
continuous improvements in the project.
ACT UPON- (Quality Improvement):
During this process, the performance measures are thresholds are checked to ensure that it
exceeds Form no more than there are specified limits. Incase performance measure
thresholds get Violated, fitness corrective measures will be taken to address the causes of
any non- conformity or other undesirable effects.
