Project TitleImproving groundwater management to enhance agriculture and farming livelihoods in Pakistan-LWR036
Project DetailsThe aim of this project is to build the capacity of researchers, farmers, farming communities and relevant government and non-government agencies to improve groundwater management in ways that enhance farming family livelihoods in Pakistan. Building capacity means building skills, knowledge and confidence, and the provision of tools and processes. Enhancing farming livelihoods includes ensuring long-term sustainability of agriculture and fairness of consideration across the socio-political spectrum. The specific project objectives are to: 1. Develop and articulate a shared understanding of sustainable groundwater use for agriculture and the need for improved management in Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh provinces. 2. Develop, with collaborating stakeholders in each case study, groundwater management tools and options that have the potential to enhance livelihoods of farming families. 3. Enhance capacity and institutional arrangements for post project adoption of tools and options developed in Objective 2 by collaborating stakeholder organisations.

ActivityActivity 2.4
Activity DescriptionOn farm field trials/ demonstrations in case studies to test, show and discuss improved irrigation practices and improved outcomes (e.g. income, yield, profitability) that are already available Sub-activities: a. Provide farming families with a package of efficient techniques (groundwater irrigation application and conservation, conjunctive use, groundwater operating strategy, agronomic practices etc.), b. Facilitate implementation of techniques by farming families themselves c. Undertake monitoring and dissemination of outcomes in terms of yield, income and profitability
