Yes, it is it possible to develop more irrigated plantations of trees in lowland areas of Punjab and Sindh.

- Irrigation is essential owing to low rainfall, high evapo-transpiration, seasonal rainfall, irregular rainfall, keeps the soil wet, prevents soil erosion, & root system needs to grow.
- The advantages of such development is use of timber for fencing, construction, firewood; food for animals & people, lean air & more oxygen, Scenic beauty, promoting tourism, protection of soil erosion, rainfall & humidity, employment, habitat for wildlife, among others
