Q. The Indus Plain is the most developed physical region of Pakistan. Explain how the relief and drainage of the Indus Plain have made it possible to carry out a variety of economic activities in this region.
Answers
Answer:
Agriculture is the second-largest sector of the Pakistani economy, accounting for approximately 21 per cent of GDP
It is highly dependent upon the Indus River system as farmland is mainly irrigated by water from the Indus River and its tributaries.
The low cost of water from the country’s irrigation system contributes to the over-exploitation of water resources and makes it challenging to maintain.
Solutions that address the overuse of water will not be easy to carry out, suggesting they are unlikely to be implemented in the near-term.
Even though Pakistan has limited land suitable for farming, the agricultural sector is a major component of its economy. While Pakistan has an arid to semi-arid climate, it is not physically water-scarce. Its water problems are caused by inefficiencies, waste and mismanagement, all of which are especially present in the agricultural sector. The majority of farmland is irrigated through a canal system that has, historically, provided ample water. In recent years, however, the situation has changed. Pakistan is now facing increased pressure from dwindling water supplies. Supply-side solutions could provide a short-term solution, but long-term solutions necessitate a reduction in the amount of water lost through poorly maintained infrastructure and finding other ways to conserve water.
