Managing salinity in the Indus Basin of Pakistan

Waterlogging and salinity have plagued irrigated agriculture in the Indus Basin for the past 30-40 years. Approximately 6 million ha (35-40% of total irrigated area) experience these twin problems. As a result, the production potential of the Indus Basin has been reduced by 25%. Over the last 40 yea...
