Comprehensive Water Management & Monitoring Systems for Pakistan
Pakistan Drought Management System (PakDMS)
https://pakdms.iwmi.org/A strategic initiative developed under the framework of the South Asia Drought Management System (SADMS) by IWMI. This system represents a significant advancement in national drought preparedness, offering a tailored solution to address Pakistan's unique climate challenges.
Key Features:
- Drought Risk Mitigation: Early warning and proactive response support
- Comprehensive Drought Monitoring with multiple indicators
- Real-time data integration for timely decision-making
Agricultural Drought Indicators:
- CWD – Crop Water Deficit
- MAI – Moisture Adequacy Index
- SMCI – Soil Moisture Condition Index
- TCI – Temperature Condition Index
- VCI – Vegetation Condition Index
- SMA (WaPOR) – Soil Moisture Anomaly
Meteorological Drought Indicators:
- DrySpell – Analysis of prolonged dry periods
- PCI – Precipitation Concentration Index
- SPI (CHIRPS & ERA5L) – Standardized Precipitation Index
- RDI (WaPOR) – Reconnaissance Drought Index
- ESI (WaPOR) – Evaporative Stress Index
Ground Water Management Information System (GMIS)
https://pakwmis.iwmi.org/A modern, web-based platform that brings together groundwater information from across Pakistan. GMIS integrates data on groundwater levels, quality, tubewell locations, bore logs, aquifer characteristics, and soil properties to support sustainable groundwater management.
Why GMIS Matters:
- Groundwater supplies over 60% of irrigation water in Pakistan
- Provides nearly 90% of domestic drinking needs
- Supplies close to 100% of industrial water demand
Key Capabilities:
- Unified national system for tracking groundwater conditions
- Visual maps and analytical tools for trend monitoring
- Identification of stressed and vulnerable areas
- Support for evidence-based planning and policy-making
- Integration of data on levels, quality, and aquifer characteristics
- Enhanced groundwater governance and regulatory compliance
Solar Suitability Mapping (SSM)
https://pakwmis.iwmi.org/SSM/A state-of-the-art web-based geospatial platform to guide sustainable, groundwater-sensitive, and climate-smart expansion of solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS) across Pakistan. Recognized by the Government of Pakistan as a transformative digital public good.
Advanced Technology:
- Remote sensing and hydrological modelling integration
- Groundwater assessments and socio-economic datasets
- Classification into bright spots, intermediate zones, and hotspots
- Integration of climatic, soil, hydrological, and land use parameters
Benefits for Stakeholders:
- Design integrated, evidence-based solar irrigation policies
- Balance agricultural growth with environmental protection
- Support groundwater stewardship and sustainability
- Transparent framework for solar irrigation expansion
- Link water resource dynamics with economic implications
Solar Irrigation Pump Sizing Tool (SIP-ST)
https://pakwmis.iwmi.org/SIPS/An innovative web-based analytical platform designed to support accurate, cost-effective, and technically sound sizing of solar-powered irrigation systems (SPIS). Delivers tailored recommendations for solar pump capacities based on comprehensive data integration.
Data Integration:
- Remote sensing datasets and hydrological inputs
- Groundwater depth and aquifer characteristics
- Discharge requirements and crop water needs
- Solar irradiance and system efficiency parameters
System Benefits:
- Match local hydrogeological realities
- Promote energy efficiency and prevent over-abstraction
- Scenario-based modelling for design options
- Reduced operational costs for farmers
- Evidence-based planning for long-term water security
- Alignment with national engineering codes
