Country: Pakistan

Client: Irrigation Department, Government of Sindh

Funding Agency: The World Bank

Partners: Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand & Carthago Consultancy, the Netherlands

The study involves a topographic survey of the Kirthar and Suleman Ranges catchments impacting the Right Bank of the Indus River in Sindh. It identifies key locations for flow and rainfall gauges to acquire real-time data from the ground and weather models. Hydrological rainfall-runoff models for these ranges will be developed, calibrated, and validated, leading to the preparation of flood hazard maps for vulnerable downstream communities.
