 The Indus River basin faces many challenges related to population growth, rapid urbanization, industrialization, environmental degradation, unregulated resource usage, poverty and climate change. These factors have led to increasing abstraction of water resources, which must be reassessed. In addition, the basin's current water supply and demand management systems must be improved. Options for improving these systems include reservoir management, water quality conservation, alternative water sources such as wastewater treatment and desalination, land use planning, flood management, and the rehabilitation and modernization of existing infrastructure. Additionally, water demand management strategies such as conjunctive use of surface and groundwater, rehabilitating and modernizing existing infrastructure, increasing water productivity for agriculture, crop planning and diversification, and changing food demand patterns and limiting post-harvest losses must be implemented.
