Integrated Watershed Management Program- IWMP

Integrated Watershed Management Program- IWMP CAEWRI is involved in problem-oriented, strategic, operational and inter disciplinary research in areas of national importance.

An area or region drained by a river, river system or other body of water is called a watershed. The concept of integrated watershed management is to bring the management of water, land, crops and energy together on a watershed for sustainable agriculture and improved livelihood of community in catchment and command areas. Watersheds and their management have greater importance in the current clim

ate change and socio economic conditions of Pakistan. This is because the rapidly changing conditions (weather/ anthropogenic/ natural) have significant consequences on the eco system services offered by these watersheds. Appropriate integrated watershed management practices encourages reduced erosion and sedimentation, good quality water for multiple use (drinking, irrigation, hydropower and eco system services etc.), recharge of groundwater, perennial stream flows, improved life of downstream structures (reservoirs, dams, headwork, canals, hydropower infrastructure etc.), increased storage of rainwater for use during peak demand period and use of alternate energy, which may be helpful in mitigating the climate change induced impacts including floods, droughts and global warming.
