This paper reports the results from some experiments utilizing models of the irrigated agriculture of the Indus Basin of Pakistan. The models are unique in that they integrate agricultural production with a surface water distribution system and a groundwater aquifer system for a large river basin. Each of the models incorporates a special case of two-level hierarchical decision-making with the policy maker (the government) and policy receivers (farmers) in the analysis of agricultural production response. The models are mostly configured in a long run comparative statistical mode and include endogenous private investment in tubewells and tractors. These tools were designed for evaluation of investment projects and programs and assessment of irrigation system management, but have been adapted for other purposes as well.

Pakistan’s water management is at a critical watershed. The world’s seventh-most populous country faces serious challenges that will require improvements in both the "hardware" and "software" of agricultural water management. Water shortages are growing rapidly as a result of growing demand across all water-using sectors. Rapid population growth, from 175 million people in 2010 to an estimated 236 million by 2030 and 280 million by 2050, and international food-price spikes create pressure to increase agricultural production of staples; but demand for cash crops is also growing rapidly, including for cotton, fruit trees and tobacco, to raise rural incomes and generate rural employment to absorb the relatively young, rapidly growing rural population. Water management is also increasingly affected by climate change – including an increased number of flood and drought events – and growing energy shortages, which affect how water is being sourced and used. Last but not least, Pakistan’s political situation is fragile, which has reduced incentives to invest in enhanced agricultural water (and other) technologies. How Pakistan addresses these challenges will be decisive for its population’s future water and food security, for economic growth, and for environmental sustainability. It will also affect water and food outcomes globally, due to the interconnectedness of global food trade. This book was published as a special issue of Water International.

"The book is a history of the political and environmental transformation of the Indus basin as a result of the modern construction of the world's largest, integrated irrigation system. Begun under British colonial rule in the 19th century, this transformation continued after the region was divided between two new states, India and Pakistan, in 1947. Massive irrigation works have turned an arid region into one of dense agricultural population, but its political legacies continue to shape the politics and statecraft of the region"--Provided by publisher.

This collection of papers explores the theory, history, economics, evaluation, and applications of the conjunctive use of surface and groundwater. Ways to use water efficiency for irrigation are analyzed, and their feasibility and institutional implications are examined in case histories of California, Pakistan, and China. Particular attention is paid to the concept of externalities - costs borne by society or by persons other than the individual whose actions occasioned them. In the context of irrigated agriculture, such diseconomies impede the efficient allocation of water, and thus output is less than it could be. The authors consider a host of remedies: institutional arrangements, methods of irrigation management, and investment in irrigation and drainage facilities, as well as plans for involving pricing, taxation, and regulation. The demanding informational and managerial requirements of efficient conjunctive use are also addressed in chapters on the use of sophisticated analytical methods to measure and model the efficiency of irrigation systems.
