OFWM is committed to improving water availability at the farm level through watercourse improvement, laser land leveling, and high-efficiency irrigation systems — building Climate-Smart Farming for a Resilient Future Surely water is life line of agriculture and deserves a serious and scientific consideration. During the last few years, the precipitation in Pakistan and most of neighboring countries has been significantly less or close to the historical minimum. This reduced the inflow of water from catchment of the Indus River and its tributaries. This situation is alarming as it has created a situation of water crisis in the country and is also resulting political deeping of interprovincial water conflict. It has been predicted that future wars will be not over political boundaries or oil but on water”. Science can help to mitigate the water scarcity problem as new techniques are available which are efficient and save water. These techniques have a great potential which should be exploited for improving traditional irrigation methods of irrigation in the country. Water scarcity is worst at tail reaches and ground water is injudiciously used to counteract water sacarcity.This practices enhances land degradation as most of the ground water is high in SAR or RSC.When groundwater use is increasing because of reduced canal supply, we have to chosen to focus for this issue on technologies which enhance water availability at farm level and minimize land degradation. On Farm Water Management is committed to improve water availability at farm level through watercourse improvement, laser land leveling and installation of High efficiency irrigation system which help overcome shortage of irrigation water. High efficiency irrigation system ensures more efficient use of irrigation water and fertilizer as compared to basin or border or furrow bed irrigation. Moreover drip irrigation could possibly help alleviate salt damage. It is hearting to see that OFWM staff is well aware of the role of water management technologies in the district and is educating the farmer on this vital issue
