The "Rod-Kohi" system of agriculture based on water of the flash floods and using it for growing crops is a centuries old practice in the Piedmont regions of Southern NWFP and adjoining districts of Balochistan. This system of agriculture is the least known system in the country. There was little research ever carried out to ameliorate the lot of farmers who practice this unique system of agriculture. This symposium aims to review research data and exchange ideas among soils, hydrology, crops, livestock, forestry, socio-economic, farmers, extension and administration personnel, and to formulate action required to assist farmers using the Rod-Kohi system of production to improve productivity and their economic status. Papers are presented in the following sessions: (1) Soil and water resource management in the Rod-Kohi area, (2) Crops for Rod-Kohi agriculture, (3) Research and development in Rod-Kohi Agriculture, (4) Livestock/Forestry and extension in Rod-Kohi agriculture.
Globally, over two thirds of soils are affected by physical, chemical, or biological soil constraints. These constraints cause significant yield loss, and, as such, identifying appropriate management strategies is crucial to ensure future world food production. In order to help agricultural researchers and practitioners better understand soil constraint management, this book comprehensively outlines the occurrence of the major soil constraints and the most appropriate strategies to manage these for sustainable food production. Importantly, it brings together experts from major agricultural regions globally to highlight approaches with the most success in different environmental and socioeconomic regions worldwide.

The AQUASTAT Programme was initiated with a view to presenting a comprehensive picture of water resources and irrigation in the countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and providing systematic, up-to-date and reliable information on water for agriculture and rural development. This report presents the results of the most recent survey carried out in the 22 countries of the Southern and Eastern Asia region, and it analyzes the changes that have occurred in the ten years since the first survey. Following the AQUASTAT methodology, the survey relied as much as possible on country-based statistics and information.
Catastrophic floods, droughts, and cyclones have plagued Pakistan in recent years. The 2010 flood killed 1,600 people and caused around $10 billion in damage. The 2015 Karachi heat wave led to the death of more than 1,200 people. Climate change-related natural hazards may increase in frequency and severity in the coming decades. Climatic changes are expected to have wide-ranging impacts on Pakistan, affecting agricultural productivity, water availability, and increased frequency of extreme climatic events. Addressing these risks requires climate change to be mainstreamed into national strategy and policy. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of climate change science and policy in Pakistan.
